Much of the time, the show provides the often-delightful shock of the unfamiliar: Conceived by Susan H. Schulman, Michael Lichtefeld, and Lawrence Yurman, with an assist from Carmichael's son, Hoagy Bix, it is a heaping selection of songs, not just the expected hits, that demonstrates the composer's staying power through several decades of pop music.

"I'll heartily recommend 'Stardust Road' as a swell earful of Hoagy Carmichael, including at least two dozen listenable songs you probably don't know, beguilingly sung and abetted by a couple of delightful choreographic moments."

Conceived by director Susan H. Schulman, choreographer Michael Lichtefeld and musical arranger Lawrence Yurman, and developed with Hoagy Bix Carmichael (Hoagy’s son), "Hoagy Carmichael’s Stardust Road" succeeds not by showing the audience another “And Then I Wrote” compendium, but by allowing the endless riches of the Carmichael songwriting catalogue to say it with music. We are treated to five extended “parts” where we meet seven characters, all friends, as they traverse the decades from the 1920’s to the 1950’s, through every high point and every heartache.

"The York Theatre Company’s Hoagy Carmichael’s Stardust Road, does not take us on a biographical journey. Instead, it tells the story of seven friends in five scenes spanning four decades."
