SHOW

The Great American Songbook at the Movies

Marie-Claire sings songs from movies of Hollywood’s Golden Age. George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, and Cole Porter all wrote for the movies, and Marie-Claire sings all those songs. (This show can also be coupled with a movie-sized screen to show the films for which the songs were created.)
