“Brilliantly realized in a ferociously emotional portrayal… draws screams of appreciation from the audience”

This rise and fall of Huey Calhoun plot is also about the rise into prominence of black music and singer Felicia Farrell, brilliantly realized in a ferociously emotional portrayal by Montego Glover. Her powerfully stunning singing voice appears to have no limitations. She rips into a powerful octave, arms flung wide overhead, at the end of “I Can't Shake the Blues.” Her savagely emotional rendition of “Colored Woman” set off by unbelievable power at the top of her vocal range, draws screams of appreciation from the audience.
