The Black Rep presents the musical Blues in the Night September 4 - 22. “This dynamite, dramatic revue thrills us with the universal language of the blues. The soul of the blues wails out full and strong in Blues in the Night, a scorching, Tony-nominated musical! The 26 hot and torchy numbers that tell of the sweet, sexy, and sorrowful experiences that three women have with the lying, cheating snake of a man who does them wrong will leave you energized, inspired, and ready to wail.” Performances take place at the Edison Theatre on the Washington University campus.

The Fabulous Fox presents the hit Broadway musical Hamilton through September 8. “HAMILTON is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, HAMILTON has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre—a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education. With book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, HAMILTON is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography.”   The Fabulous Fox is on North Grand in Grand Center.
