Guthrie Theater

Ella explodes onto the stage in a torrent of jazzy passion, weaving together the music and life of vocal legend Ella Fitzgerald. Her story is told in the fashion most suitable to such an artist: through the passion of her own music. Ella herself dominates, accompanied by the boys in the band who provide the beat for indelible hits as well as step in to provide voices from her past. In this unique presentation, with a book by playwright Jeffrey Hatcher (The Government Inspector), actress Tina Fabrique makes her Guthrie debut as Ella in a portrayal Variety called "a must-see performance!"
