LOOKING FOR JOSEPHINE Plays 9/17-27 At Alexander Kasser Theater
On one hand, "Looking for Josephine" is a wildly over-the-top, splashy revue tribute to the glamorous Afro-American song and dance goddess Josephine Baker, who fled to Paris in 1924 for the fame and fortune she could not achieve in her own country. Conceived and directed by Jérôme Savary, the hit show, which has been playing to sold-out houses throughout Europe, is also a dramatic conceit. Savary's alter ego travels to post-Katrina New Orleans in search of a woman to play Josephine Baker, and in doing so Savary weaves the history of black American music-classic jazz, boogie-woogie and blues-before and after the devastating hurricane.
