Inspired by the popularity of City Center's Encores series in New York, musical theater veteran Martin Charnin (creator of Annie and winner of two Tony, seven Grammy, and three Emmy Awards), and celebrated Broadway conductor/composer Keith Levenson joined forces to create Curtain Up!, semistaged concert performances of the best of Broadway musicals. In its debut outing, Curtain Up! brings George and Ira Gershwin/George S. Kaufman's 1927 musical comedy Strike Up the Band to Zellerbach Hall. Featuring a score by one of the most influential and popular of American composers, performed live by the Curtain Up! Orchestra, and a cast featuring some of Broadway's fastest rising talents, Strike Up the Band has all the sass, wit, and sex appeal of the classic Broadway show.
