Tony Winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson Brings LACKAWANNA BLUES to The Mark Taper Forum This Spring
By: A.A. Cristi Dec. 21, 2018
A magical, musical and deeply personal work written, performed and directed by Tony Award winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson, "Lackawanna Blues" is a reminiscence of his 1950s childhood in a small town on the banks of Lake Erie.
Santiago-Hudson takes on more than 20 colorful characters-from would-be philosophers and petty hustlers to lost souls and abandoned lovers-in a brilliant celebration of the eccentric boardinghouse he grew up in.
Santiago-Hudson returns to his roots in this tour de force performance accompanied throughout by live blues music performed by Obie winning composer Bill Sims Jr.
