Mississippi Charles Bevel, Felicia P. Fields, Gregory Porter and Sandra Reaves-Phillips will reprise their performances from the Northlight Theatre’s previously announced production of Randal Myler and Dan Wheetman’s Low Down Dirty Blues, for an engagement at Florida Stage, running July 17 – September 5. Myler will direct the show, and Wheetman will serve as the production’s musical director.

For decades, Blues artists have captivated audiences with the "dirty blues," sexy music packed with passion and soul, full of innuendo, insinuation and, above all, humor! The show features songs made (in)famous by the likes of Muddy Waters, Ma Rainey, Sophie Tucker, Howlin’ Wolf, Pearl Bailey and many others.

The creative team includes Jack Magaw (scenic design), Rachel Laritz (costume design), Dan Darnutzer (lighting design), and Victoria DeIorio (sound design).
