Photo Coverage: T. Oliver Reid Brings DROP ME OFF IN HARLEM to The Metropolitan Room
By: Stephen Sorokoff Nov. 10, 2014
Singer and Broadway star T. Oliver Reid leads what he describes as "a club hopping journey through the swanky clubs and low down joints of 1934 Harlem," featuring the music of Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen, Andy Razaf, and more. In this new show, Reid performs each number with the unmistakable dramatic flair of a musical theater veteran, and he also provides an overview of the clubs, musicians, and social context of the music.
Funny, informative, and a consummate showman, Reid will transport you back to the heyday of iconic venues like the Cotton Club. "In 1934, on a Saturday night in New York City, if you were boozin' and jazzin', you were doing it in Harlem." 80 years later, we're doing it right here at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola.
