Blue

A co-production with Pasadena Playhouse, Paper Mill Playhouse and Arizona Theatre Company brings Blue, infused with original jazz music.

It is the 1970s and the Clarks are a successful clan buoyed by the prosperity of their recession-proof family funeral parlor. Just as this ?perfect? family is about to make the cover of Ebony Magazine, surprise forces go to work as the silky smooth voice of jazz crooner Blue Williams keeps passing through the imagination of Peggy.
