This Tony-nominated Broadway musical is set in a seedy 1930s Chicago hotel. Follow the stories of life, love and loss of three colorfully characterized women and a male saloon singer. Their tales are set to the bluesy tunes of artists like Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Alberta Hunter, Ida Cox.The music is raunchily forthright, infectiously good-humored — but always classically blues.
