Frank McCourt’s The Irish…And How They Got That Way Extends Through April 18 at Kimmel Center
The Kimmel Center has extended the run of the newly revised version of Frank McCourt’s The Irish…And How They Got That Way. Originally scheduled to run through February 28, the production will now play through April 18.
The piece tells the story of the Irish experience both on the Emerald Isle and in America through the songs of Ireland, such as “Danny Boy,” “The Rose of Tralee, and “Harrigan,” along with the works of George M. Cohan including “Give My Regards to Broadway,” “You’re A Grand Ole Flag” and “I’m A Yankee Doodle Dandy” and music from modern-day Irish rockers such as U2.
