From a Times staff writer

The piano used in the film “Casablanca” -- the one on which Dooley Wilson played “As Time Goes By” -- will be onstage tonight and Saturday at the Hollywood Bowl for the “Mediterranean Blue: From Fireworks to Fado” concerts with conductor John Mauceri and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.

Valued at more than $2.5 million and owned by Beverly Hills dentist Gary Milan, the salmon-colored piano will be played in the Suite from “Casablanca” by composer Max Steiner. As an insurance requirement, a security guard will be with the piano at the Bowl from delivery this morning until 8 a.m. pickup time on Sunday.
