Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, THE IRISH...AND HOW THEY GOT THAT WAY by Frank McCourt and produced through special arrangement with the Irish Repertory Theatre is an uplifting musical celebration of all things Irish in the tumultuous 20th and 21st centuries told with wit, bitter irony, and boundless love for the Irish underscored by music extending all the way from Irish folk ballads, through George M. Cohan's patriotic love songs to America, World War II standards sung in films of the era, USOs and foxholes all over the world, as well as beloved contemporary hits.
