It's a life lived out loud in this exhilarating new
musical about "The First Lady of Song," Ella
Fitzgerald. This theatrical event weaves myth,
memory and music as it tells the uplifting and
poignant story of one of the greatest jazz/pop
vocalists of 20th century music.
It's 1966 and the fabled songstress is preparing
for one of the most important concerts of her
career. As she jams with the musicians (including famed trumpeter Louis Armstrong) and gets ready to meet the audience, Ella reflects on her life, her secrets and the love of music that made her soar.
Featuring more than a dozen of her most famous hits, including "A Tisket, A Tasket," "How High the Moon," "That Old Black Magic" and "They Can't Take that Away from Me," this swinging new musical invites audiences to fall in love all over again with the magic and soul of Ella Fitzgerald.
Be among the first in Charlotte to experience a performance in the sparkling new KNIGHT THEATER. The theater joins the Mint Museum, Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, and the Afro-American Cultural Center in a new cultural district on South Tryon Street that will add a whole new dimension to the Uptown art scene.
