Step into a world of jazz, found family, and the inspiring resilience of a community on the brink.
It’s 1949 and gentrification is threatening Detroit’s Black Bottom, the city’s historic African American neighborhood. Blue, a talented but tormented trumpeter, must decide if he wants to fight to keep his jazz joint, the Paradise Club, alive. When a mysterious woman full of secrets and ulterior motives comes into town everything Blue thought he knew, and his relationships with the people at the heart of the Paradise Club, are thrown into question. Dominique Morisseau’s noir inflected musical drama explores the price of ambition, the weight of history, and what it means to be a people fighting to find their song in a community on the brink.

I’d love to attend this! I’ve only been to one musical in my life and that was 15 years ago, so I’ve been thinking about going to another one soon!
I would love to see this show. Everything I’ve seen at the Playhouse has been great and I love musicals!
Would be really cool to take my fiancée to this, she’s a professional violinist who has traveled the world and loves jazz and blues. Plus we have never been to the Portland playhouse before.
Oh WOW!!! I would absolutely love to take my husband to this!! Our parents were born in Chicago & Detroit during this time period!!
Sounds super cool!
Everything they do is amazing
I’d love to attend to support the Playhouse and the arts. It is important to me to be part of the tapestry within the community. Finally, I haven’t seen anything here that hasn’t brought me to tears.
I’ve never been to a play here before and this one sounds fantastic!
I’ve never been to the playhouse and my friend and I would love to see this wonderful sounding show!!
I never get to see plats.
I’d love to be considered. My husband and I have never been to the PlayHouse, but he loves jazz and I’d love to surprise him.
I would love the tickets, don’t get out much do to funds.
My wife and I would love to go! We haven’t yet seen a show at Portland Playhouse and it would be great to see the work they produce!
Would love an opportunity to witness such a powerful performance
This sounds intense…and interesting!
wow fantastic!
I’m coming to Portland to visit my 23 yo son, and would love to see and support theater with him where he resides! Plus his sister is a theater major, so as much exposure as possible to theater is amazing!
I’d love to take my husband to experience this. He is a trumpet player and I believe this would inspire him to pick up that silver devil and exercise his lips again. I sure miss his blues.
