New Line Theatre presents The Gershwins' Of Thee I Sing March 4-27 at The Marcelle!

New Line Theatre continues its 35th season with the hilariously goofy, Pulitzer Prize–winning Jazz Age musical comedy OF THEE I SING. Because nothing says “timeless entertainment” like a musical about a completely absurd presidential election that feels weirdly current. Featuring songs by George and Ira Gershwin and a script by legendary comedy troublemakers George S. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind, Of Thee I Sing gleefully dives into the kind of political chaos that makes you say, “Wait… this was written in 1931?”

Riffing on the topsy-turvy madness of Gilbert and Sullivan, the show delivers one of the most ridiculous presidential campaigns you’ve ever seen -- complete with an Atlantic City beauty pageant, a sex scandal, an impeachment, and plenty of backroom deals. And somehow, nearly a century on, the jokes still land a little too well. As one critic noted, the show feels less like a period piece and more like a documentary with better music.
