Our long-term vision is to produce a regular day-time run of the show, offering both locals and visitors an opportunity to learn about the significance of this extraordinary musical era. Our September 2023 workshop at the Jazz Market was warmly received:
This multimedia musical revue lovingly and thoughtfully pays tribute to all the greats - Fats, Irma, Lloyd Price, Huey “Piano” Smith, Allen Toussaint (and some of the stars he made famous - like Lee Dorsey, Ernie K-Doe, Benny Spellman) plus Professor Longhair, the Dixie Cups, Dr. John, Frankie Ford, Louis Prima, Earl King, and the hitmakers, Dave Bartholomew and Cosimo Matassa. The Big Easy Boys and Big Easy Babes are phenomenal talents and had everyone up, clapping, and dancing by the finale. Get a ticket if you can... it's sure to be another hit!
- Dominic Massa, Executive Vice President, WYES-TV
The Big Easy Boys have put together a really incredible night of music and harmonies. And the Big Easy Babes... Blew. Me. Away. The grand finale will knock your socks off. Whew! It’s a deal for a helluva show, folks. Go treat yourself!

Turn the Beat Around! This show is phenomenal. It is a loving stroll through classic New Orleans Rhythm and Blues, paying tribute to our magnificent New Orleans musicians. This polished and talented cast of musicians and singers light up the stage with all the hits of yesteryear that will make you smile and sing along... It truly is a magical stage production.
