Straighten Up and Fly Right

Travel back to the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s with such beloved hits as “Route 66,” “Ramblin’ Rose,” “Unforgettable,” and many more in this memory-filled tribute to the musical genius of Nat King Cole. Starring the award-winning Maurice Jacox with an outstanding ensemble and vocal duo, Straighten Up and Fly Right! recreates the full spectrum of Cole’s group sound, from jazz trio to big band. In song and narration, this one-of-a-kind performance captures a tumultuous and transformative period in America, as well as the life of an influential musician who helped to shape—and was in turn shaped by—the time.
