LIVINGSTON, Ala.--The hit song and dance revue from Branson, Mo., “Red, Hot… & Blue!” will make a stop in Livingston during its seventh coast-to-coast tour. Sponsored by the Sumter County Fine Arts Council, the group, which has played at the Ain't Misbehavin' Supper Club and other venues since 1994, will perform Tuesday, Oct. 2, at 7:30 p.m. in Bibb Graves Auditorium on the University of West Alabama campus.

This six-performer troupe takes audiences on a nostalgic musical journey through the decades: from the raucous ragtime era to the Roaring ‘20s, from the classic jazz era of the 1930s to the swingin' sounds of the ‘40s and the big band era, and from the hilarious ‘50s to the rockin' ‘60s and disco ‘70s. With award-winning costumes, hilarious wigs, quick-moving choreography and precise vocal harmonies, this high energy show is sure to appeal to audiences of all ages.

The Sumter County Fine Arts Council season will continue with “Quartetto Di Venezia” in November, the UWA Musical Christmas Card in December, “See There in the Distance: A Tribute to Marian Anderson” created and performed by Ruby Hinds in February and the Mississippi Symphony in April. The SCFAC also continues to support the Black Belt’s own syndicated radio program, the Sucarnochee Revue, taped live at UWA. Revue shows are held throughout the year on the Livingston campus.

Admission for “Red, Hot… & Blue!” is free for Sumter County Fine Arts Council members and UWA students with proper I.D. Admission for all others is $7 for adults and $2 for children.

The SCFAC receives support from the Alabama State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, The University of West Alabama and other agencies, businesses and individuals.
