“Iglehart is just fabulous” – Chicago Tribune

Meanwhile, New City Stage has nothing but good words for the thrilling Chicago trial run. “Needless to say, a bio-play about Louis Armstrong soars or sinks with the casting of the lead, and Tony winner James Monroe Iglehart rises to the occasion.” The writer goes on to add, “(IIglehart) not only mastering the gravelly voice and scat singing that were Armstrong’s signatures, but also fully manifesting the physical presence and infectious charisma and smile that made him a star.”

Over in Florida, The Miami Herald wrote, “From the leads to the ensemble, everyone in the show is at the top of his or her game.” The writer continued to call the musical is flat out gorgeous and highly entertaining.”

“I found myself and the crowd laughing often with some suggestive jokes and witty clap backs,” adds Buzz Center Stage. “At one point, Louis Armstrong’s character breaks the fourth wall and asks for the audience’s participation in singing one of his famous songs.”
