by Faetra Petillo - Sep 15, 2008
In the tradition of Rufus Wainwright's Judy Garland Carnegie Hall concert, and Leslie Kritzer as Patti Lupone at Les Mouches, Joe's Pub is thrilled to present Michael Arden covering Joni Mitchell's seminal album 'Blue' in it's entirety, with new arrangements by Todd Almond. When 'Blue' was released in June, 1971 it was hailed as instant classic, critically and commercially, a potent culmination of her career. The record expressed her depressed assessments of the world balanced by notions of exuberant romantic love. Hit songs include'River', 'All I Want', 'A Case of You' and many more.
