Cleveland Play House Opens THE DEVIL'S MUSIC Tonight
After breaking box office records in the summer of 2012 with One Night With Janis Joplin, Cleveland Play House keeps right on rocking and resurrects The Empress of Blues in The Devil's Music: The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith. Singer/actor/musician Miche (pronounced "Mickey") Braden, nominated for a 2012 Drama Desk Award for the role, brings the defiant energy and musical brilliance of this Red Hot Mamma to life on the stage in this soulful musical.
The Cleveland Play House production of The Devil's Music: The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith, conceived and directed by Joe Brancato, is running in the Allen Theatre at PlayhouseSquare starting tonight, February 15 through Sunday, March 10, 2013. Tickets are available by calling 216-241-6000 or online at www.clevelandplayhouse.com. The Devil's Music: The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith is sponsored by Kulas Foundation and is produced with support from Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and the Ohio Arts Council.
"The Devil's Music was written around Miche Braden's extraordinary talents," says CPH Artistic Director Michael Bloom. "I can't wait for Cleveland audiences to experience a performance that has garnered plaudits Off Broadway and at the Montreal Jazz Festival."
