Blues in the Night - Now through May 30




"As usual, Tom Width directed the show like a master conductor." - Robert Parlier, Petersburg Progress-Index

"Brenda Parker gives us transcendent performances of Billy Strayhorn's breathtaking Lush Life and the winking Alberta Hunter song Rough and Ready Man. Parker is the embodiment of the blues." - Susan Haubenstock, Richmond Times-Dispatch

BLUES IN THE NIGHT - OPENING TONIGHT!


Blues in the Night
Conceived by Sheldon Epps
Music by Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen, & Johnny Mercer
Off-nights May 11 through May 30

The universal language of the blues wails out full and strong in this dynamite revue. Twenty-six hot and torchy numbers tell the sweet, sexy, and sorrowful experiences that three women have with the lying, cheating snake of a man who does them wrong. Alternately wistful, tender, and naughty with “bring down the house” blues songs.
