He was the musician with the instantly identifiable raspy tenor voice and the ideal “chops” for both a trumpet player and vocalist. And he was the performer who, despite living through decades of racism, possessed a spirit that enabled him to sing “What a Wonderful World,” a song that was clearly a personal anthem.
Of course, that man was Louis Armstrong (1901-1971), and he needs no formal introduction to audiences pretty much anywhere in the world. “Satchmo” (his nickname, meaning “satchel mouth” and suggesting his large mouth and broad smile) was above all else a giant personality as well as a formative force in the world of jazz for nearly half a century.
Now, “A Wonderful World,” a show written by Aurin Squire, conceived by director Christopher Renshaw and Andrew Delaplaine, and bearing the subtitle “A New Musical About the Life and Loves of Louis Armstrong,” has arrived at Chicago’s Cadillac Palace Theatre in a production that is bound to arrive on Broadway.
James Monroe Iglehart, who stars as the New Orleans-born Armstrong, has captured the beloved musician’s unique voice and aura to uncanny perfection, with the sound of the trumpet coming primarily from the backstage band led by Anastasia Victor that features trumpeters Jeremiah Flack and Christopher Davis. And the show’s score includes 18 of the countless songs Armstrong performed during his career on the stage, on recordings and in 28 films.
The other exceptional elements in the production are the choreography and musical staging of Rickey Tripp; the actresses who play Armstrong’s four wives; and the chorus of singer-dancers who animate the stage in various numbers. Enhancements to the show include Toni-Leslie James’ costumes, the scenic and projection design of Adam Koch and Steven Royal, and Cory Pattak’s lighting.
