About this Article

You can hardly blame folks for humming a Gershwin tune or breaking into a time step as they leave a performance of “My One and Only.” Marriott Theatre's infectious revival of the 1983 jukebox musical is just that good. A terrific score, ebullient choreography from Tammy Mader and first-class singing and tapping from Andrew Lupp and Summer Naomi Smart compensate for a flimsy story, making Marriott Theatre's "My One and Only" worth seeing.
