Review: BLUES IN THE NIGHT at The Black Rep
Ron Himes’ amazing Black Rep company is opening its 48th season with a piece of pure delight. It’s called Blues in the Night, and it’s a glorious musical revue of the history of that genre. And such a vastly diverse history that is, with vaudeville songs, deeply moving songs of love and loss, lush and lonely excursions into real jazz, and comic novelty songs that get seriously, hilariously bawdy.
