AFTER MIDNIGHT is the Broadway production of Encores' critically acclaimed Cotton Club Parade. This heart-pounding new musical brings the sexy, smoky glamour of Harlem's Golden Age to a whole new generation. At the heart of AFTER MIDNIGHT is The Jazz at Lincoln Center All-Stars, an orchestra of 17 world-class musicians hand-picked by nine-time Grammy Award winner Wynton Marsalis. The timeless songs of Duke Ellington and his contemporaries--woven together by the prose of Langston Hughes--provide a backdrop for cutting-edge performances by 25 sensational vocalists and dancers, including an exciting roster of Special Guest Star headliners.
This thrilling experience puts you at the center of one of Harlem's legendary nightclubs, in a hotbed of Jazz - its intoxicating rhythms, its innovative style, its unpredictable danger and fun. And, as directed and choreographed by Warren Carlyle, AFTER MIDNIGHT blurs the line between past and present to prove that Jazz is more than music--it's a state of mind.
To everyone's credit, Barrino is not cordoned off from the company like a traveling VIP. The singer, who catapulted from 'American Idol' popularity to Broadway respect in 'The Color Purple,' primarily does greatest-hits songs -- 'Stormy Weather.' She has a tangy baby/woman voice, a slow and clear scat and the ability to say a lot with stillness and a pout.
With all due respect, this is truly an all-star production, and don't you dare think of leaving right after the curtain calls because the biggest stars of the evening are the sensational musicians taki
