PAST ALL-CITY MUSICALS -

The Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s 12th Annual All-City Musical       

Bubbling Brown Sugar

Book by Lofton Mitchell; Based on a concept by Rosetta LeNoire


Jam, jump and jive to the legendary music that made Harlem swing during its renaissance in the exuberant musical revue, "Bubbling Brown Sugar." Relive the exhilarating era of Duke Ellington, Fats Waller and Cab Calloway when memorable musical classics such as "Take the "A" Train," "St. Louis Blues," "Sweet Georgia Brown," "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Honeysuckle Rose," "His Eye is on the Sparrow" and others come to life in a magical journey back through time. Stomp at the Savoy and kick your heels high again at the Cotton Club to some of the most popular Big Band, jazz, swing, blues and gospel music of the past 90 years. This celebration of Harlem's influence on American culture will leave you tapping your toes and agreeing that, "It Don't Mean a Thing If You Ain't Got That Swing."

Producing partners include Great Lakes Theater Festival, The Human Fund, The Musical Theater Project and PlayhouseSquare.
