Ticket Information
The universal language of the blues wails out full and strong in the dynamite "dramatic revue" of twenty-six hot and torchy numbers that tell of the sweet, sexy and sorrowful experiences three women have with the lying, cheating snake of a man who does them wrong. Featured songs include Willow Weep for Me, Taking a Chance on Love, Stompin' at the Savoy and Lush Life.
