WP: Theaters Opt For Bio-Musicals

P1010015_3
The Post has a piece on why some DC theaters are offering more bio-musicals. They offer the H Street Playhouse as an example. Tickets are currently available for A Nite at the Dew Drop Inn. Here is the info from the Theater Alliance website:
Conceived and Directed by James Foster Jr.
January 31 - February 16
Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 5 pm

Recreating the "hole in the wall, through the woods on a gravel road, moonshine still in the back" juke joint experience, A Nite at the Dew Drop Inn offers low-down blues, hot piano, singing that makes you want to stand up and shout, and a tribute to the "Queen of the Blues," Miss Dinah Washington. It's an evening of music and dance and foot-stomping you won't want to miss! So, get ready to kick back, enjoy refreshments with your friends, and experience a wildly entertaining evening, as we convert the H Street Playhouse into Capitol Hill's hottest "juke joint." Featuring: Andy Torres, Yvette Manson, Stephawn Stevens, Kimberly Spencer-McLeod; and Ralph Herndon on piano.
