Lady, Be Good! (2015 Encores! Cast Recording)

The Cast Recording of the Encores production of Lady, Be Goodsends you back in time to the Roaring Twenties, when speakeasies and the Charleston were all the rage, and George and Ira Gershwin's first hit collaboration ushered in the Golden Age of American musical comedy. The madcap 1924 musical tells the story of a penniless brother (Danny Gardner) and sister (Patti Murin) who crash a garden party in hopes of some quick nourishment. They resolve to marry for money, but love gets in the way, as it usually does. Before true love wins out, they encounter Mexican gangsters, crooked lawyers, wealthy socialites, and a song-and-dance man possessed by a "Fascinating Rhythm" (Tommy Tune).
