The vivid memories his mother, vaudeville, Broadway, feature films and five marriages together with unforgettable renditions of "Swanee," "You Made Me Love You," "Sonny Boy," "California Here I Come," "April Showers," "Mammy" and other Jolson standards made this sparkling bio musical a hit Off Broadway and in London

"It's impossible not to enjoy.... There is both charm and humor and it flows incredibly well dramatically.... Highly recommended" ~ nytheatre.com

"So much fun.... The narrative is given a strong element of continuity.... The character of Jolson is a boon as well: capricious egotism and pig headedness offset by disarming magnetism.... The audience wants to sing along, and is given its chance in the final concert segment" ~ Financial Times
