  • Gershwin's brain was in the grips of the terminal process of his life.

    Maybe this had something to do with the magnitude of the event because I think it is a singular acheivement.

    It is one of the great works of humanity and the derector of this piece beautifully realizes it.

    A work of genious.

  • for once 0 people are idiots!

  • It's so amazing ... What a vocals, Thank God for George Gershwin!

  • I have never been able not to cry during this scene. The way the orchestra fills in the rhythmic gaps, the excitement, a man courageously finding his legs and his journey, with the community behind him. Gershwin, the most overrated (because popular), and the most underrated (as a serious composer).

  • I LOVED BEING THIS PLAY!!! IT WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID.

  • I love P&B. Some of the greatest music any American has ever written.  "Bess, You is My Woman Now" brings tears to my baby blues, and "Oh Lawd" never fails to give me chills:) --

  • @atwillie That's the spirit. And maybe he really did find her. Gershwin and Dubose Heyward were talking about writing another opera, about Porgy in New York. But then they both died, so it didn't happen. So we'll never know.

    God damn it,

  • It moves my heart! This last scene show's Porgy's determination! I'm sure he found Bess in New York City!
