Suite Life A Celebration of Billy Strayhorn & Gene Kelly
November 28, Kelly Strayhorn Theater
The Kelly Strayhorn Theater’s Suite Life Celebration returns for another year of holiday tradition that honors Billy Strayhorn and Gene Kelly. This two hour concert from saxophonist Yoko Suzuki and Monteze Freeland includes guests Alumni Theater Company, Carolyn Perteete, Cliff Barnes, Mark Strickland, and James Johnson III. The setlist takes all the hits from Billy Strayhorn and Gene Kelly that you know and reinvents them in a creative and impressive way. Rather than just music, the concert combines dance and original spoken word as well as instrumentation and vocals. You can even attend the pre-concert VIP reception featuring an exclusive soundcheck, hot food, cocktails, and the inaugural Suite Life Paradigm Awards ceremony.
