White Plains Performing Arts Center presents LOUIS-AND-ELLA!

White Plains Performing Arts Center is proud to present LOUIS-AND-ELLA! A musical tribute to the great icons of Jazz, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald on Saturday, September 24 at 7:00 pm as part of White Plains Jazz Fest.

This musical celebration reunites THE ARCHITECT OF JAZZ and THE FIRST LADY OF SONG in heaven for one magical night and features Trent Armand Kendall and Anita Jackson in the title roles. These two friends and jazz pioneers rip through 24 of the most enduring standards of all time including: "Cheek to Cheek", "Love Is Here To Stay", "Stomping at the Savoy", "Stardust", "They All Laughed", "Skylark", "What a Wonderful World" and more...

The story is full of love, laughter and redemption as we learn about their parallel lives, the rise to fame and the fight to stay there. The irrepressible Armstrong (also surprisingly comedic) and the spellbinding Fitzgerald (with a voice as smooth as silk) were the biggest stars of their day who recorded three highly acclaimed albums featuring countless chart-topping hits.

"LOUIS-AND-ELLA! is a tribute to two of the most important music icons in history. The contributions of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, respectively, are far reaching. This musical love letter is as much about their professional friendship and mutual admiration as it is about their hugely successful careers. This is a story about friendship, love, redemption and joy!" Writer and Star Trent Armand Kendall
