Description
1956. Streets of America are humming with change. As the world turns, two of its brightest stars walk into Capitol Studios and record an album that captures the charm of a friendship and time gone by.
lla Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong defined an era and a standard of performance that have delighted fans & inspired musicians for generations. Against a backdrop of change and uncertainty, they created something beautiful and ageless, transcending the times they were living in.
The winners of the FRINGE WORLD Music & Musicals Award, Simone Craddock (2020) & Adam Hall (2019), accompanied by the prodigious Adrian Galante at the piano, come 'cheek to cheek' to lovingly recreate the magic of the greatest musical pairing of all time, Ella & Louis!
Presented by:
