… that today is Of Thee I Sing Premiere Day? In 1931, George Gershwin’s musical Of Thee I Sing opened on Broadway. It was the first American musical to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize. Trivia fans: The musical lampoons American politics; the story concerns John P. Wintergreen, who runs for President of the United States on the “love” platform. When he falls in love with the sensible Mary Turner instead of Diana Devereaux, the beautiful pageant winner selected for him, he gets into political hot water.
