He never had much formal education. He never learned to read or write music. But he gave the world songs that will live forever. This is the first&#8211;and only, as of this date&#8211;one-man show ever to be written and published about Irving Berlin. Berlin made more money and wrote more hits than any of his so-called competitors. This dynamic solo show includes 40 Berlin songs&#8211;some famous, some rarities and rediscoveries; all irresistible.
