Take A Journey In Song With IT AIN'T NOTHING BUT THE BLUES

By: Jan. 28, 2009

TheatreWorks, the nationally-acclaimed theatre of Silicon Valley, continues its 39th season with the sizzling, red-hot Broadway hit IT AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT THE BLUES, a foot-stomping, high-voltage journey in song. From African chants and Delta spirituals to the urban electricity of a Chicago nightclub, from dusty backroads bluegrass, to the twang of a country juke joint, IT AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT THE BLUES is a stirring retrospective of blues classics that summons the soul of American music. Told with historical sweep and irresistible energy, The New York Times calls this Tony Award nominee "rich, evocative, rousing...more than a musical feast." Helmed by director Randal Myler, this scorching songfest features celebrated blues artist "Mississippi" Charles Bevel, TheatreWorks veterans Alison Ewing, James Monroe Iglehart, and Michelle E. Jordan, plus Tony Marcus and Chic Street Man, who will be making their TheatreWorks debuts.
