 he Devil’s Music: The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith, a CurtainUp review
Angelo Parra's book for the show spans all of Bessie's short life -- from her childhood in Chattanooga, to her vaudeville days with Ma Rainey's troupe, her run-ins with the Klu Klux Klan ("I stared right into their holes"", her bad marriage, and penchant for booze and lovers of both sexes.
While the mood is mostly light, Parra does not omit her hearbreaking battle for custody of her adopted son and the fizzling of her career in the 1930s and the fatal 1937 auto accident which ended any chance at a comeback.
It is in fact her last concert before that accident which begins and ends the show.
