This weekend, beginning August 22, L.A. Theatre Works will air its production of Dinah Was by Oliver Goldstick, starring Yvette Freeman, Adriane Lenox, Bud Leslie, and Darryl Alan Reed.

Yvette Freeman, joined by members of the original Off-Broadway cast, reprises her Obie Award-winning role as Dinah Washington in a musical biography of the self-described Queen of the Blues.
