Long Blurb: Duke Ellington’s timeless jazz tunes set the score for this exuberantly joyful musical inspired by Shakespeare’s romantic comedy Twelfth Night. Aspiring songwriter Vy takes the A-Train to Harlem in the swingin’ 1930s with big dreams of a career in showbiz, only to find that it’s a man’s world. She disguises herself to reach the inner circle of renowned band leader, the Duke—but plans backfire when she catches the eye of Lady Liv, the star singer of the Cotton Club, and mistaken identities make way for romance. Music is indeed the food of love with big band pizzazz and hit songs including “It Don’t Mean a Thing,” “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore,” and “I’m Beginning to the See the Light."
