Lush Life

No script, no plot. Who cares? Blues in the Night hits all the right notes.

Crucial to the success of Blues in the Night are musical director/pianist William Knowles and his four musicians (Ira Basset, Gary Wooten, Buddy Mohmed, John Simon). They are onstage throughout, a hot little band with a big, big sound.

Costumer Susan E. Mickey has dressed the cast in bold citrus colors, layering the actresses in diaphanous gowns over silky lingerie and gartered stockings, like figures in vintage photos of great chanteuses (including Bessie Smith) from the 1920s.
