Ok so you've got the hat, you've got the coat, and you've got the Dick Tracy know-how to crack any case but you don't have anything until you've got tickets to see Dark Legends in Blood, the hottest new interactive play to hit the scene. It's all about hot jazz, cool cats, beautiful divas and one murder that's got the whole club turned upside down- and it's up to you to figure out who done it!

Written by Maurice Kitchen and Leonard Reed, Dark Legends in Blood is a fabulous new show that is brimming with music, comedy and enough mystery to keep you on the edge of your seat. The show is already playing to rave reviews across the country and has snagged a number of awards, including Best Director and Best Musical Director from the NAACP Theater Awards as well as a nomination for Best Choreography and Best Ensemble.

You might have to stretch your imagination a bit for this one because it brings some of jazz's greatest voices from across the century, together on one stage. That means you get legends like Cab Calloway, Lena Horne, Billie Holiday, Etta James and Louis Jordan all on one stage! It's almost too good to be true as you hear these greats belt out numbers like 'Strange Fruit', 'Minnie the Moocher', 'Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens' and 'Let the Good Times Roll'.

Of course if you want a celebrity impersonation that fits to a tee you might have to look elsewhere- if you are looking for a celebrity impersonation that perfectly embodies the personality and soul of that singer than this is the place to be. Each performer brings a special magic to their roles, bringing those late greats to life with tremendous authenticity. Of course that would be reason enough for a good play but the fun doesn't stop there- while all these performers do a number on stage, one of them chokes and dies in mid-song. It is now up to the audience to figure out who the culprit is and there are plenty to choose from.

The play not only showcases the musicians' musical talents, we also get a glimpse backstage at the scuffles and strained relationships that exist between them. Add to the fray a bartender with a secret, a wise-cracking, super-smooth mc, a heckler who is more than he appears and a stomping back-up orchestra, and you will certainly have your work cut out for you to guess where the guilty hand lies.

It's a fabulous night of music and mystery so what are you waiting for? Contact your online ticket vendor now and order those tickets to see Dark Legends in Blood live at a venue near you!
