A one-man play about Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong, with John Douglas Thompson in the challenging double role of Armstrong, the world-famous jazzman, and Joe Glaser, his mob-connected manager. The time is March of 1971. The 70-year-old Armstrong is backstage at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, preparing for what will be his last performance and wondering whether he paid too high a price for his fame. In Satchmo at the Waldorf, Terry Teachout, drama critic of The Wall Street Journal and the best-selling author of Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong, shows you the private Armstrong, charming and angry—and bluntly, shockingly honest.
