An evening between Broadway glamour and German theatrical poetry

With American Dream – Memories of George Gershwin, the Stadttheater Fürth opens a space in June 2027 where acting and live music seamlessly intertwine. Martina Gedeck and Sebastian Knauer create a stage portrait of the composer that makes palpable not only his music but also his beginnings, contradictions, and societal explosive force.

Gershwin as an artist of crossing borders

George Gershwin represents a rare connection of elegance, rhythm, and cultural curiosity. The pre-reporting of the house emphasizes his journey from a street kid from New York's Eastside to a celebrated Broadway star, embedded in a story of musical ascent, international impact, and abrupt disruption by the Nazis' rise to power. The stage experience thereby gains historical depth and contemporary relevance.

Martina Gedeck narrates, Sebastian Knauer brings melody

Martina Gedeck guides the audience as Frances Gershwin through her brother's life, giving the narrative a delicate, cinematic presence. Sebastian Knauer sets the tonal counterpoint with Gershwin's compositions: The solo piano version of Rhapsody in Blue concentrates energy, wit, and virtuosity into a focused moment of musical theater. This creates a theatrical atmosphere where language and sound ignite one another.

An evening about art, courage, and societal impact

Gershwin was not only a musical genius but also a pioneer who pushed boundaries in American theaters. The production places this spirit of openness at its center, connecting biographical precision with emotional immediacy. Those who appreciate cultural historical readings, musical storytelling evenings, and finely balanced stage art will find here a cleverly composed stage experience with a strong audience impact.

Why attending is worthwhile

American Dream – Memories of George Gershwin promises an evening of high musicality, human closeness, and historical resonance. The Stadttheater Fürth provides the perfect setting: a house with good accessibility, a central location, and an atmosphere where great art becomes approachable. Best experienced live, and secure tickets early.
