TONY AWARD NOMINEE BEST MUSICAL 1999 - REGIONAL PREMIERE
This sizzling, red-hot Broadway hit is a foot-stomping, high-voltage journey in song. From African chants and Delta spirituals to the urban electricity of a Chicago nightclub, from dusty backroad bluegrass to the twang of a country juke joint, it is a stirring retrospective of blues classics that summon the soul of American music. Told with historical sweep and irresistible energy, this Tony Award nominee is guaranteed to jar the floor, raise the roof, and kick-start your heart. “Rich, evocative, rousing…it’s more than a musical feast.” The New York Times
