Blueberry Hill features classic New Orleans R&B songs made famous by local musical icons like Fats Domino, Irma Thomas, Ernie K-Doe, and many others! Not a revue type show or a retelling of the history of the recording business, Blueberry Hill instead tells the story of everyday people who find themselves dealing with love & betrayal, laughter & tears. Audiences will find themselves sharing in the joy and sadness onstage and singing along as the plot takes some unexpected twists while bringing to life the songs they know and love.

Public Performances will be held:

September 18 - 27 at Teatro Wego!

177 Sala Ave. Westwego, LA

September 18, 19, 24, 25, 26 at 7:30 PM

Featuring the talents of Troi Bechet, AEA*, Betsy Borrego, Butch Caire, Bethany Fagan, Donald Lewis JR, April Louise and Alex Wallace.

With four new cast members in Blueberry Hill, look forward to some new surprises!
