Wow - what a show
"My first (and possibly only ever) Broadway Show (I don't live in the Americas). The lead actor had Satchmo's movements and voice perfectly. If you closed you eyes and imagined... The female leads were just as awesome. I'm going to remember this show for a very long time. Thank you."

We Loved It!
"My husband and I saw this show last night and just loved it. It’s a very moving, and well-done production. We enjoyed learning more about Louis Armstrong via his timeline and his wives. The singing is beautiful, and the choreography is so much fun. I was smiling through my tears at the end."

Loved it!
"I loved being able to see Mr. Armstrong's story brought to life. The second half was truly impressive. The tap dancing and singing were amazing. If you are a professional musician, it is a little weird to see the cast faking playing an instrument. I would have loved to see the real band playing onstage to distract me from that!"

I’m smiling because the whole world smiles with me!
"Love the tap dancing! The singing, smile and style of “Louie” on point!! All the actors & actresses were Fabulous! I cried, laughed, sang, reminisced & learned! I would love to see it again! Few spots were slow but so is life! I just Loved how it took me back to my childhood listening to him with my parents! Learning about his life, for me, certainly a story worth hearing! "

Amazing show
"The actor who played Armstrong was absolutely amazing. My only wish is that they should include songs that he sang in French and Italian. "
