Review: POPS GOT CHOPS: 'SATCHMO AT THE WALDORF' IS A WONDERFUL ONE-MAN SHOW at Schoolhouse Theater
by Bruce Apar - May 31, 2025
The tightly produced, crisply presented piece directed by Schoolhouse Producing Director Bram Lewis stars Wali Jamal in a thoroughly engaging and formidable performance that also profiles Mr. Armstrong’s lifelong manager Mr. Joe Glaser and another deity straight from the Mount Olympus of jazz, Mr. Miles Davis. Mr. Jamal skillfully presents the three as distinct personalities without overdoing it. He represents them rather than impersonates them, which is a wise choice because there only is one sun in this universe and it is the one and only Satchmo.

Review: SATCHMO AT THE WALDORF at The Schoolhouse Theater
by Pia Haas - May 27, 2025
In it's landmark 40th season, The Schoolhouse Theater hits a high note with 'Satchmo at the Waldorf.' It is a bold and emotional one-man show that digs into the life and legacy of jazz legend Louis Armstrong. Written by Terry Teachout, the play imagines Armstrong backstage at the Waldorf-Astoria near the end of his life, reflecting on his career, his struggles, and the complicated relationships that shaped him—especially with his longtime manager Joe Glaser and fellow jazz icon Miles Davis.
