First it’s New York City in 1916 and Paris in the 1930s, followed by Hollywood in the 40s and New Orleans in the 50s. ’S Wonderful takes you on a ride to the different places, times and musical styles that made the Gershwin brothers the most successful songwriting team in the history of popular music.

Like a Technicolor® movie musical, ’S Wonderful paints a picture of nostalgia and entertainment while paying tribute to the incomparable songbook of George and Ira Gershwin. Featuring over 40 classic hits such as “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off,” “Shall We Dance”, “Someone to Watch Over Me.”, and “Rhapsody in Blue”.

“We glad to have ‘S Wonderful coming to the Capitol, but even more so because the show has a local connection.  Katie Mitchell who graduated from Bowling Green high is touring with the production.  This is Katie’s first touring show and we are thrilled that it is coming close enough to Bowling Green to bring her home to perform it on the stage of the Capitol”  said Karen Hume, Executive Director. 

The Capitol is pleased to present ‘S Wonderful and with the help of Fruit of the Loom and other generous sponsors we can bring this show to our community. 

Tickets are $25.00 (plus ticketing fees) and are available through the Capitol Arts box office 270-782-2787 or on line at www.capitolarts.com.  The performance is November 16 at 7pm
