Say Goodnight, Gracie

Say Goodnight, Gracie

.

Adapted from the reminiscences of George Burns, the multimedia presentation traces the comedian-raconteur's life from his childhood on the Lower East Side of Manhattan to his early career in vaudeville to his momentous meeting and subsequent personal and professional relationships with wife Gracie Allen.

After 27 previews, the Broadway production, directed by John Tillinger, opened on October 10 2002 at the Helen Hayes Theatre, where it ran for 364 performances. Frank Gorshin starred as Burns, and Didi Conn provided the pre-recorded voice of Allen.

Holmes was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play and Gorshin was nominated for the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance.

The production toured extensively throughout the United States following its New York closing.
