Blues in the Night As rehearsals begin for Blues in the Night, Artistic Director of Kiln Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham announces the full company.

‘A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing

Who'll leave you to sing, the blues in the night.’

Chicago 1939. One man, three women, their lives, memories and the sweet music that gets them through the night.

The Olivier and Tony Award nominated musical is a scorching compilation of 26 hot and torchy blues numbers that frame the lives and loves of four residents of a downtown hotel. Featuring soul-filled songs by blues and jazz icons Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen and many more, this will be a sizzling night to remember.
