There’s a hurricane blowing into the Ahmanson filled with glorious Gershwin melodies, rousing production numbers and one of theatre’s most unforgettable and timeless love stories. The legendary Porgy and Bess, ahead of its time in 1935, has come of age in a contemporary new adaptation deservedly celebrated with the 2012 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. On Charleston’s Catfish Row, the livin’ ain’t easy for Bess, bound to one man and in love with another. At the heart of this tempest is a rich and rapturous score of Gershwin standards, including breathtaking classics like “Summertime,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So” and “I Got Plenty of Nothing.”
