I've always loved George Gershwin’s music, and reading about him, I was amazed to discover his remarkable romances and the songs these loves inspired. From the adorable Adele Astaire, Broadway star and Fred’s sister, to married composer Kay Swift, and his last great love Paulette Goddard, (Charlie Chaplin’s wife), and many others (often at the same time), women and men found him irresistible. All the while his retiring brother Ira was watching and transformed George’s escapades into clever lyrics, blending words perfectly with George’s unforgettable melodies, to create some of the great love songs of the American Songbook.
I've been fascinated to find how many women in George's life were gifted musicians who inspired and helped him with his creative life!
Praise for the first show -

Award-winning writer and performer Lisa Faith Phillips weaves funny and touching tales of Cole Porter’s life, loves and the songs which they inspired. From his wealthy childhood in Peru, Indiana through Yale and Harvard Law School, to his marriage to Linda Thomas who accepted that he was gay, he lived in Paris for 20 years, and traveled the world, eventually moving to New York and Hollywood. In 1928 at 37 Cole’s Broadway career took off with the success of Paris, followed by many more popular shows. He wrote the music and lyrics for over one thousand songs.

The legendary Maud Gonne left her mark on everyone she met. She famously won the devotion of one of the greatest poets of the age, William Butler Yeats. But she was so much more. An actress, a journalist, an activist and early media influencer for the cause of Irish independence.
