The creative team includes Diane Paulus (Hair), Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks (Topdog/Underdog), and two-time Obie Award-winning composer Diedre L. Murray (Running Man). They reinvent the onetime "folk opera" from 1935 as a musical that still captures the heart, soul, music and juicy story first created by DuBose Heyward, Dorothy Heyward, George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin.
