The York Theatre Company hits the ground running (and tapping) with its new musical revue “Cheek to Cheek: Irving Berlin in Hollywood.” Conceived, directed, and choreographed by the sure hand of Randy Skinner, the show salutes the master tunesmith’s contributions to the silver screen.

The impact of Irving Berlin (1888–1989) on American music cannot be underestimated. He wrote approximately 1,500 songs (music and lyrics) during his lifetime, many of which have gone on to become popular standards.
