“Stormy Weather.” “Get Happy.” “I Love a Parade.” “Over the Rainbow.” What do these great songs have in common? They were all composed by Harold Arlen. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of his birth, this concert offers a multi-media look at Arlen's life and music, with behind the scenes clips from The Wizard of Oz, personal home movies and photos, all provided by the Harold Arlen estate. One of America's greatest and most prolific composers, Arlen was honored in 2000 when “Over the Rainbow” was named the Number One Song of the 20th Century! Starring Tom Wopat and Faith Prince, the show features two jazz vocalists and a quintet of established jazz musicians. Known for her outstanding work on Broadway, Faith Prince has starred in such great shows as Bells are Ringing, Guys and Dolls, Nick and Nora, and The King and I. TV viewers will remember Tom Wopat from his days on the 70's hit series The Dukes of Hazzard, and theater goers will remember Mr. Wopat from his starring roles in The Robber Bridegroom, Carousel, Guys and Dolls, Annie Get Your Gun, and the most current revival of West Side Story. Over the Rainbow promises to be an enchanting evening of great American music starring two great performers.
