Due to Popular Demand and Sold Out Performances,
Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe extends run of ‘Jazz Hot Mamas’
 
World premier musical revue will highlight the great women performers of the jazz era
SARASOTA, FL – Nearly two months before the show even opens, in response to blistering ticket sales, Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe has extended the run of its upcoming musical revue “Jazz Hot Mamas.” In this show – a world premiere created by artistic director Nate Jacobs – the company salutes the great women performers of the jazz era such as Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, Etta Jones, and Peggy Lee. These women rose to stardom, broke barriers and left a legacy few can match. Their phenomenal voices, style and grace won over audiences around the world.
“We guessed this might be our hottest ticket of the season but we are still amazed at how quickly we sold out of our available inventory,” said Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe executive director Richard M. Parison, Jr. “We are confident local audiences will absolutely love this show and are thrilled by the level of excitement already surrounding it.”
The show was originally set to run from February 25 through March 29; the extension adds shows from March 31 through April 4. Call the Box Office at (941) 366-1505 or go to westcoastblacktheatre.org to purchase tickets.
