"I call the show a revue-sical - half revue, half musical," says LeFevre, the music director who conducts a nine-piece Dixieland ensemble as well as playing the piano - "upstage, center" - throughout the show."It's a revue, but it has a storyline and characters you care about.We cram an awful lot into two hours." The show is structured around the metaphor of a piano, a prop that offers an ironic note, since Berlin - the iconic creator of so many classic American hits - barely knew how to read music and taught himself to play the piano."He could only play in one key, which is F-sharp major, all the black keys," LeFevre says.
