FurtherMore: CAGNEY!

James Cagney was one of a kind, and while he has often been imitated, Hollywood has never seen anything like him since. One of the most versatile actors the movies have ever produced, he was as menacing playing a gangster in Public Enemy as he was charming dancing his way through Yankee Doodle Dandy. Add to this an unflinching integrity that brought him into conflict with studio bosses and the U.S. government and you’ve got the compelling story of CAGNEY!, a dazzling new musical that you can explore in the pages below.
