Cagney!

A Spirited Musical Biography

Book by PETER COLLEY

Music & Lyrics by ROBERT CREIGHTON & CHRISTOPHER MCGOVERN

Additional songs by GEORGE M. COHAN

Directed by BILL CASTELLINO

Celebrate the triumphs and tragedies of silver screen legend James Cagney in this inspiring Canadian premiere. Revered for his iconic tough guy persona, in reality Cagney was a scrappy but sensitive hoofer who struggled to break free from the violent gangsters the Hollywood studio system forced him to play. 

 This fascinating story takes on new life by interspersing five decades of the actor's movie career with such brilliant song and dance numbers as "Yankee Doodle Dandy", "Grand Old Flag", and "Give My Regards to Broadway".

 At once humorous and dramatic, Cagney is a spirited musical biography that deftly pays homage to one of the greatest stars of our time.
