| The main body of this series comprises stage and screen musicals to which the brothers contributed, as well as later revisions and revivals of these shows. It also includes new stage musical projects realized by the Gershwin Trusts, such as Crazy for You and Nice Work If You Can Get It. Other scripts include projects that incorporate the Gershwins’ music or focus on the brothers’ biographies, as well as other miscellaneous unrealized projects. Particularly notable are scripts for George Gershwin’s 1934 radio show, Music by Gershwin. | |||||||||||||
