"story line was very informative, I was unaware of Armstrong's life. It was very refreshing to learn about his political outlook. The tap dance was Awesome and the support characters were great. "

Felt like we were seeing the real guy.
"There were a few times where it began to drag, but that's Okay. The women were really good, but James was a star. "

Amazing artists paying a poignant tribute to Luis Armstrong
"I absolutely loved every second of the show: the artists and their every move, their voices, the lights, the costumes, the music and the story. I felt as if Luis Armstrong was on stage. I appreciated the way the writer of the musical intertwined the story of Luis Armstrong and his music with the US events of that time. It was a very emotional show. The actors transmitted to the audience their passion, power and feelings so strongly. I kept smiling and dancing on my chair until the last song touched my soul so deep, I cried. I want to thank all the artists and profesional staff backstage for these moments of true happiness. I will never forget the show."
