"Blackbirds of Broadway, " a Harlem rhapsody, will open at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center downtown on Oct. 6 and run through Oct. 17. The production is a presentation of the Charlotte Repertory Theatre. "Blackbirds" is a sexy, sophisticated and hip celebration of swing, blues, gospel and "le jazz hot." It features dance, song and music inspired by the famed Blackbird revues that thrilled Harlem, Broadway, London and Paris in the 1920s and 30s. Oct. 6 and 7 dates are previews. Official opening date is Oct. 8. The show will be held in the Booth Playhouse. Tickets range from $17 for preview nights to $24.50 for weekends.
