Say Goodnight Gracie is the hit Broadway play that invites you to spend a hilarious, heart-warming evening in the uplifting company of the world’s favorite and funniest centenarian. George Burns, who spanned 100 years of American entertainment history, is now miraculously alive and kicking in a stunning tour de force.
In Say Goodnight Gracie, we discover George in limbo between this world and the next, unable to join his beloved wife and partner Gracie Allen until he gives the command performance of his lifetime for God. He looks back upon his impoverished, plucky youth on the lower east side of New York…his disastrous but tenacious career in Vaudeville ...the momentous day when he met a fabulously talented young Irish girl named Grace Ethel Cecile Rosalie Allen…their instant chemistry, his wooing of her, their marriage, and their rise to the pinnacles of vaudeville, movies, radio, and television. Gracie’s demise forced George to start from square one in life and in his career, eventually achieving an equal level of success as a solo raconteur and Academy® Award-winning actor, portraying everything from a Sunshine Boy to, Oh, God.
