Porgy and Bess
A great achievement that left me breatheless
The New York Times
Why see Porgy and Bess?
Set in Charleston's fabled Catfish Row, 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.
The hit Broadway revival now embarks on a nationwide tour, featuring such legendary songs as "Summertime," "It Ain't Necessarily So," and "I Got Plenty of Nothing."

Wonderful "Porgy"
I've seen several productions of Porgy and Bess, including the Broadway version with
Audra McDonald. The current production at Seattle Opera is the best I've ever seen. All
gorgeous voices, a moving and tight production, and a magnificent chorus. The audience
was thrilled. I may even go to see it again during this run. ... Read more
