The revival of The Gershwins’ Porgy & Bess will be staying on Broadway longer than originally expected. Initially set to close on July 8th, producers say the show will go on through September 30th at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
The Gershwins’ Porgy & Bess is set in Charleston’s fabled Catfish Row, where the beautiful Bess struggles to break free from her scandalous past, and the only one who can rescue her is the crippled but courageous Porgy. Threatened by her formidable former lover Crown, and the seductive enticements of the colorful troublemaker Sporting Life, Porgy and Bess’ relationship evolves into a deep romance that triumphs as one of theater’s most exhilarating love stories.
Porgy and Bess originally premiered in New York in the fall of 1935. It featured an entire cast of classically trained African-American singers, a creative decision considered very daring for the times.
