Ella & Louis! Simone Craddock & Adam Hall, ft Adrian Galante
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong defined an era and a standard of performance that have delighted fans & inspired musicians for generations. Against a backdrop of change and uncertainty, they created something beautiful and ageless, transcending the times they were living in.
The winners of the FRINGE WORLD Music & Musicals Award, Simone Craddock (2020) & Adam Hall (2019), accompanied by the prodigious Adrian Galante at the piano, come 'cheek to cheek' to lovingly recreate the magic of the greatest musical pairing of all time, Ella & Louis!
