Blue Heaven at Black Ensemble Theater

Around The Town Chicago - Recommended

"...During this 90 minute ( no intermission) story of the blues going to heaven, we get a taste of the music they created, a little biography from each as to what led them to where they are ( or one might say were, as they have all passed away) and then, it seems that before they get to pass the pearly gates, they have to put on a concert for the “Big Guy”. The last segment of the show is each of the five characters doing a few numbers with all of them joining in with BB for the final piece “Let The Good Times Roll”."

Chicago Theatre Review - Highly Recommended

"...This soulful, effervescent and highly entertaining one-act, the perfectly titled BLUE HEAVEN, was written and Directed with heart and soul by Black Ensemble Theater’s Renaissance Man, Daryl D. Brooks. The production concludes with a Blues classic that speaks to the entire audience. Everyone in the theater familiar with the song is encouraged to join the cast in their flawless finale, “Let the Good Times Roll.”"
