Of Thee I Sing

Jerry Herman Ring Theatre
1312 Miller Rd Coral Gables

Of Thee I Sing originally opened on Broadway in 1931 to critical and box office success -- thanks in no small part to the music and lyrics from George and Ira Gershwin, and clever book by George S. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind -- but its social relevancy hasn't waned a bit in the many years since its debut. The Pulitzer Prize-winning political satire finds fictional candidate John P. Wintergreen singing and dancing along the campaign trail as he runs for president, promising to marry the winner of a beauty pageant should he win the election. But as love gets in the way of his campaign he'll have to decide -- will it be true love or the oval office? Make your way to the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre at the University of Miami to enjoy this timelessly engaging musical.
