Can't believe it has to close!

"The musical was entertaining, fun to watch and informative. The singing, the horn playing and the dancing were awesome. And who doesn't love tap dancing?! My husband and I had no idea about the life of Louis Armstrong ... quite a guy! In summary, it was absolutely satisfying both visually and auditorily, and we came out of the theater having learned a lot. James Monroe Iglehart was phenomenal as were all the actors! Bravo!"

Great tribute to Louis Armstrong

"The play was phenomenal, the cast especially James, who played Louis, he captured his voice and he sang in that voice...👏🏾👏🏾 Unfortunately, we happened to see the plays final performance, yes it closed! We were all very surprised to learn this. I'm so happy I got to see the play. Mr. Armstrong, James Brown and Count Basie lived in my neighborhood, when I was growing up."

Satchmo's Sax meets love, fame, failure, race, grace & joy

"A wonderful Musical with an incredible cast, direction and choreography. The only thing I would suggest would be to introduce Stepin Fetchit earlier in order to enlarge his story as a contrast to Satchmo's primary story accentuating the challenges endured and conquered by these indomitable talents. The pivotal scene anchored by the amazing talents of James Monroe Iglehart as Louis Armstrong and Dewitt Fleming Jr as Lincoln Perry (aka Stepin Fetchit) left me wanting more intersections between their two stories. Special Kudos to Dewitt's wife, Jennie Harney-Fleming, as Lil Hardin, who admirably carries the elevated talent mantel handed down to her by her Tony Award winning (DREAMGIRLS) father, Ben Harney. This is a must see show that must continue. Thank you all for sharing your vision and talents. WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD."

OUTSTANDING

"This musical and storytelling was beyond my expectations. I took my wife to see it as a Valentine’s Day gift, plus as a surprise. She was over the moon. And on top of that , it was my mother’s favorite song. Always brings a tear to my eyes whenever I hear “ What a wonderful world “ . So you can imagine how I was at the last Act. The cast was phenomenal and orchestra as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND “ ."

single theater going

"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."

A Wonderful World is truly a wonderful show!

Satchmo's signature tunes!

"It is my recent visit to Storyville Museum in New Orleans featuring Satchmo's life and a Japanese TV drama "Come Come Everybody" featuring "On the Sunny Side of the Street2 that encouraged me to see the musical. I was so fascinated with a number of Satchmo's signature tunes such as "You Rascal You" and "What a Wonderful World" that I would like a number of people to share my deep pleasure of viewing this work. Without any knowledge of Jazz I bet you can enjoy the show very, very much. "

Takayuki T from Purchase on Jan 24, 2025

AWESOME!

"The show was outstanding as a storyline musical. The life of Louis Armstrong was depicted with every emotional aspect one could imagine in the life or not known in the life of an icon! Five stars for the acting , singing and dancing. "
