THE GREEN ROOM 42 - Broadway's newest intimate concert venue - has announced the return of "The Shakespearean Jazz Show"featuringFun Home star and Tony Award nominee Emily Skeggs and the Nine Worthies jazz ensemble in the exciting and original "The Shakespearean Jazz show" for two nights on Friday, February 2 and Friday, February 9.The show is directed by Emily Grill, produced by Ari Conte and Emily Grill, and features original music by Patrick Greeley.
"The Shakespearean Jazz Show" is a wildly entertaining and one of a kind evening that re-contextualizes Shakespeare's work in an unexpectedly magical and wholly engaging way.

Duffy on bass, and Alex Bender on Trumpet, composer Patrick Greeley on piano and clarinet, Adam Salameh on percussion, and Sheldon Brown, Daniel Irwin, Jenna Rogalski and Tony Award-nominated actress Emily Skeggs on vocals.
A rave review of "The Shakespearean Jazz Show" from BroadwayWorld.com praised the show as "a triumphant tour de force that pristinely blends Shakespeare's poetry with a catchy New Orleans jazz beat" with Cabaret Scenes calling it "an innovative, vibrantly colorful, high energy show...a killer presentation that brought the house down." The show masterfully marries the words of the bard with the beats of jazz, combining upbeat and exuberant music with the timeless text.
