Revival is not a presentation of The Blues Brothers movie brought to stage, nor simply a revival of the characters Jake and Elwood Blues. Blues Brothers Revival is foremost an homage to Chicago’s rich history of Blues, Gospel, and traditional Soul music as presented by our talented music director Ron Walters Jr. and his sizzlin’, jump for joy, powerhouse band. The theme of Revival is the dream of salvation. Jake has spent most of the last several last years stuck in purgatory and the Blues Brothers are on a mission: to get Jake into the Kingdom of Heaven. With the help of Sister Callie, preacher man, three intriguing choir singers and the band, Jake seeks redemption through melody, rhythm and verse. After some reminiscing with the band, some impassioned preacher and inspired music, the audience is enticed, ready and willing to join the mission by joining the choir which gets to the heart of the show—it’s about the music. Upbeat and uplifting, Blues Brothers Revival is fun for all ages. |
