PRODUCER: Cinnabar Theater presents the world premiere of
WHAT: Ella: The American Dream
Written and performed by Kim Nalley
San Francisco jazz vocalist Kim Nalley stars in the world premiere of her new musical "Ella: The American Dream." Nalley penned this Ella Fitzgerald tribute, a quintessential rags to riches story that takes audiences back to 1930’s Harlem, the Apollo Theater, the Savoy Ballroom and birth of the swing era which paved the way for musical greats including Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and a Savoy Ballroom dancer named Frankie Manning who popularized a new dance called the Lindy Hop.
Based on new historical findings about Ella Fitzgerald’s humble beginnings, this production will have audiences snappin’ their fingers, feeling optimistic and yearning for more with its original music, jazz standards and Lindy Hop dancing.
