"Blues Journey"

My apologies, gentle readers - the show Blues Journey slipped right past me.

Which is a shame, because it looks like a great show. Luckily, thousands of students got to check it out. Here's a recap from the Herald-Dispatch:

The Marshall Artist Series brought another Kennedy Center Theater for Young Audiences' production to the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center Monday for three shows.

Blues Journey, a journey through the history of blues, is a live musical about a cotton picker who also is a music prodigy who gets discovered.

More than 1,200 elementary school children from Wayne and Cabell counties saw the show earlier in the day before an evening show drew dozens of families from around the area.

This is the seventh-straight year the Marshall Artist Series has brought a Kennedy Center production to Huntington.

The Marshall Artist Series continues at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 with The 5 Browns. The Tony-Award winning musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee hits the Keith-Albee at 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 28.
