SHOW #2: SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE
Smokey Joe's Cafe is a review show, also called a "jukebox"show. All the songs are by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, mostly from the early '60's. There's no plot or storyline, just 40 (yes, 40) oldies. The 9 singers in the show are also in the other 2 productions. It's fun to see how different they look in all 3 shows. The cast:
Jared Brodie Renita James Robert McFletcher
Micheal Byrne Tanisha Moore Cedric J. Paige
Desiree Dillon David E. Foster Megan Wheeler
unless noted, the photos were taken by Genny Wynn.

Who needs men in black when we have men in silver?

Enjoying the club.
That's not all the songs in the show, just the ones that have the best visuals. If I did a photo of every song this post would go on for days. Stay turned for show #3, 42nd Street!
Enjoy the holiday!
