"Benjamin and his orchestra filled the second half of the evening with lilting, humorous, and even elegant readings of ragtime numbers, a W.C. Handy blues song, and even a Sousa march…Popular music, A.D. 1900, is still going strong."

The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra returns to Southern California’s La Mirada Theatre with BORN ON THE 4th OF JULY!: THE BROADWAY MUSIC OF GEORGE M. COHAN, featuring Colin Pritchard
June 30, 2024 @ 2:00 pm EDT
Tap along with patriotic pride to Mr. Broadway’s flag-waving classics “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag” – plus “Give My Regards to Broadway” and many more. Theatrical world premieres of unheard Cohan songs, plus pre- and post-show concerts, and a reunion of George M. Cohan’s family members. Our last George M. Cohan Celebration at the La Mirada was a sell-out, so don’t wait!
