My father took my to see "The Devil's Music: The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith. It was at the St. Luke's Theater. Midtown, West. What a wonderful show! Aaron Graves (Jazz pianist) was in the show. Miche Braden was fantastic in the role of Bessie Smith! She has a gorgeous voice and great control over her instrument. She was beautiful, funny, believable.

Bessie Smith..."St. Louis Blues". Gone, but never forgotten! It was a one act, which was cool. 90 minutes long, the time flew. Not a boring moment. So much great music from 4 musicians on stage! See this musical if you can. Also at the same theater, a musical on Fanny Brice and one on Danny Kay (through the voice of his wife(?))
