Tempe theater musical will pay tribute to the blues

Arizona Theatre Company presents ‘Blues in the Night’ starting in February

Posted

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.

For 56 years, Arizona Theatre Company has presented live professional regional theater. As Arizona’s only League of Resident Theatres member and the only company of 78 nationally that performs in two cities, ATC presents five plays/musicals each season in both Metro Phoenix and Tucson.

Tickets start at $25 and are available online at atc.org/blues-in-the-night.
