By Maddie Orton, JerseyArts.com

originally published: 08/15/2024

Even those who don't know the name Hoagy Carmichael certainly know his songs. The composer behind "Heart and Soul," "Georgia on My Mind," "The Nearness of You," and "Stardust" is celebrated through the musical "Hoagy Carmichael's Stardust Road."

With only one previous professional production, the musical will find new audiences this September as part of Surflight Theatre's 75th Anniversary Season.

Producing Artistic Director Steve Steiner and the show’s musical director, Nick Kaminski, talk about Surflight, Long Beach Island, and their upcoming production of "Hoagy Carmichael’s Stardust Road."

"Hoagy Carmichael's Stardust Road" takes place at Surflight Theatre (201 Engleside Avenue) in Beach Haven from September 4-15, 2024. Click here for ticket information.
