Arizona Theatre Company is bringing the music of “Blues in the Night” to the stage in February.
The musical celebration of the blues and its influence on American music weaves the stories of three women and one man as they navigate love, heartbreak, and rebirth. Set in a swanky 1930s Chicago hotel, this emotionally uplifting story features 26 of the hottest torch numbers by blues and jazz icons like Bessie Smith, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Ida Cox, and Benny Goodman, to name a few.
The production features 18 performances from Saturday, Feb. 22 through Sunday, March 9 at the Tempe Center for the Arts, 700 W. Rio Salado Parkway.
