Blues in the Night

International City Theatre
330 East Seaside Way Long Beach

The soul of the blues wails out full and strong in Blues in the Night, a scorching, Tony and Olivier award-nominated musical. Set in 1948 in a rundown Chicago hotel, three women and a man share their stories about the misery and humor of life, love and the dogged determination to do more than just survive. The drama reveals itself through 26 hot, torchy, glorious songs by Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Alberta Hunter, Harold Arlen, Jimmy Cox, Ida Cox and more.

"...Still, under Wren T. Brown's pitch-perfect direction, this is the gals' show all the way with sultry stunner Foreman and effervescent charmer Byrd revealing some of musical theater's finest vocal chops in song after song after song, and Reed (who earned her first Tony nomination way back in 1976 for Bubbling Brown Sugar) proving the stuff legends are made of in one show-stopper after another, with Keith Young choreographing some snappy dance numbers along the way."
