Aug. 4-16, 2015: “Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin” at Gil Cates Theater, Los Angeles

Hershey Felder takes on the role of “America’s composer” in this solo show, which returns for a limited engagement after breaking Geffen Playhouse season production box office records last year. With an illustrious career that included classics such as “God Bless America” and “White Christmas,” Irving Berlin cemented himself as one of the most prolific songwriters of all time. Audience members can expect a lineup of iconic tunes as Felder pays homage to many quintessential songs of the 20th century. (310-208-5454; geffenplayhouse.com)
