Using Berlin's own songs to tell the story, Dick, Ian Whitcomb, and company create a hypothetical Day in the life of Irving Berlin – from "Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning" to "Tell Me A Bedtime Story"...with "Office Hours", "Lunching At The Automat", "Five-O'Clock Tea", "Steppin’ Out With My Baby" and more in between! There are literally scores of Berlin songs that could have fit into this concert, so forgive us if we don't use your favorite, but the ones we've done are quite a kick. Come and enjoy the effect!
