Blue Skies: Irving Berlin and the American Dream

Blue Skies: Irving Berlin and the American Dream

Presented by Cleveland Jazz Orchestra and The Musical Theater Project and Playhouse Square at Mimi Ohio Theatre

Although the story is a rags-to-riches tale, it is so much more. At the age of five, this son of a cantor saw his house burned to the ground in Czarist Russia. But over the next 96 years the immigrant became, in his daughter’s words, the “quintessential American.” In fact, Irving Berlin celebrated two of our country’s major holidays with “White Christmas” and “Easter Parade,” and the nation itself with “God Bless America.” His songs keep rolling on: “Cheek to Cheek,” “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” “Always,” “Let’s Face the Music and Dance” and “They Say It’s Wonderful” among 1,500 others—and you’ll be treated to a generous sample in TMTP’s sixth-annual collaboration with the swinging Cleveland Jazz Orchestra. —B.R.

 

Hosted by BILL RUDMAN and PAUL FERGUSON

Featuring members of CLEVELAND JAZZ ORCHESTRA, the JOE HUNTER TRIO, VINCE MASTRO, TREVA OFFUTT, and MICHAEL SHIRTZ

PARKING GARAGE

Playhouse Square has kept event parking affordable for our guests. In fact, at just $20, the on-site Playhouse Square garage is priced lower than other parking facilities at every downtown entertainment and sports venue, where prices are sometimes more than double on event night for lots that can be several blocks away.

The garage offers a covered walkway into the theaters. The walkway is accessible from the 2nd floor of the garage and elevators are available on each parking level.

Purchase night or weekend parking in the Playhouse Square Parking Garage (located at 1450 Chester Avenue).

The Lumen Parking Garage is conveniently located across the street from the theaters, entering on E. 17th Street between Prospect and Euclid.

Parking passes must be purchased prior to the day of your performance.

Note: On the day of your performance, you will not be able to purchase Playhouse Square Parking Garage passes online or at the Box Office. Drive-up on-site parking may still be available at the published on-site rate. No overnight parking.

PURCHASE PARKING IN THE PLAYHOUSE SQUARE GARAGE OR THE LUMEN GARAGE

VALET PARKING

Valet parking is provided by VIP Valet at Playhouse Square. For your convenience, valet is available on both sides of Euclid Ave.

Pardon our dust! During the construction period for the Bulkely Apartments through December 2024, valet parking for the north side of Euclid will be located at the corner of E. 17th St. and Euclid Ave. From Chester Ave., turn south on E. 17th to access valet parking.

Valet parking is also available in front of the Hanna Theatre on E. 14th St.

Normal hours of operation are two (2) hours before the first performance until after the last performance for all evening and weekend performances.

To receive the discount, just provide your dining receipt to confirm the minimum purchase when you return to the  valet to pick up your car.
