"Blues in the Night" is a musical revue that celebrates the soulful, bluesy music of the 1930s and 40s. It features an array of classic blues songs that tell the stories of three women and a man, who find themselves all staying at a run-down Chicago hotel. The characters share their life stories, hopes, and dreams through the music of legendary composers and lyricists such as Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer, and Bessie Smith. The musical explores themes of love, heartbreak, and perseverance, all set against the backdrop of the Great Depression.
