Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (Beverly Hills, CA)
Dancer, director and choreographer Gene Kelly was a legend of his time, and the legend lives on. Legions flocked to see the astonishing grace and athleticism he brought to Hollywood film musicals of the 1940s and ’50s, and his films remain classics today — films like Anchors Aweigh (1945), An American in Paris (1951) and Singin’ in the Rain (1952) to name a few. Now, Patricia Ward Kelly presents a one-woman show in which she takes you behind the scenes to paint an intimate and mesmerizing portrait of this dynamic and innovative artist who continues to delight and inspire. Using film clips, previously unreleased audio recordings, personal keepsakes and stories he shared with her over their decade together, Ward Kelly provides unforgettable insight into the life and heart of the man who changed the look and style of dance on film and became one of the world’s most beloved and iconic stars. Hailed by Variety as “deeply moving,” this profoundly personal — and yet also engagingly universal — evening inspired Entertainment Tonight‘s Leonard Maltin to declare: “I felt privileged to be there.”
