A Wonderful World

James Monroe Iglehart, who won a Tony as the Genie in Alladin, tries to make magic again as Louis Armstrong in this new biomusical about the soaring jazz trumpeter and gravel-voiced entertainer. Conceived by Andrew Delaplaine and director Christopher Renshaw, the show features an original book by Aurin Squire (This Is Us) and, natch, many of Satchmo's signature songs, such as “It Don’t Mean A Thing It Ain’t Got That Swing,” "When You're Smiling" and “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love, Baby.” Darlesia Cearcy, Dionne Figgins, Kim Exum and Jennie Harney-Fleming play four of the charismatic jazzman's brightest flames.
