Description
Ella: The American DreamWritten and performed by Kim Nalley
Hers is the quintessential rags to riches story. Ella Fitzgerald went from being a homeless New York street
dancer to becoming America’s first “Lady of Song.” “Ella: The American Dream” takes you back to 1930’s Harlem,
the Apollo Theater and the Cotton Club and the birth of the swing era which paved the way for musical greats including Duke Ellington,
Billie Holiday and a Savoy Ballroom dancer named Frankie Manning who invented a new dance called the Lindy Hop.
Based on new historical findings about Ella Fitzgerald's humble beginnings, this musical tale will have you snappin’ your fingers,
feeling optimistic and yearning for more.
