Oscar Levant leaves the psych ward for an illicit TV appearance in ‘Good Night, Oscar’ at Le Petit Theatre

by The 100 Companies

Journey back in time to 1958 as we walk the line between the fantasy and reality of one infamous (fictional) night of television in “Good Night, Oscar,” culminating in “Rhapsody in Blue.”

Oscar Levant (Michael Paternostro) was a musical virtuoso, more famous for playing his friend George Gershwin’s songs than his own. His rise to fame began in the 1930s, but his musical talents were overshadowed by his mental health struggles and erratic, witty one-liners, often about his experiences with psychiatric care.

“Good Night, Oscar” at Le Petit Theatre runs from Jan. 10 through Jan. 26. Learn more at LePetitTheatre.com.
