5 New Broadway Shows To See This Summer

Satchmo at the Waldorf is The New York Times Critic’s Pick and the winner of Best Solo Show and Outer Critics Circle Award.  John Douglas Thompson nails it every time with amazing performances as Louis Armstrong.  Set in New York City in the early 1970s at the luxurious Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the play takes place backstage as the legendary singer unwinds after his final concert and recounts the pros and cons of his career.
