'A Wonderful World' is at the Cadillac Palace Theatre through Oct. 29 and the actor playing Louis Armstrong spoke to ABC7 about the musical.
"A Wonderful World" is a musical inspired by the life of legendary artist Louis Armstrong. It just opened at the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago.
Actor James Monroe Iglehart spoke to ABC7 about the privilege and challenge of playing Satchmo in the musical. "Growing up, I knew who Louis Armstrong was, I knew who Satchmo was, but he wasn't like, 'my man,'" Monroe Iglehart said. "Most jazz artists of that time, white men have written about them. Louis was a prolific writer. He wrote two autobiographies, and he wrote letters and letters over the span of his career. Once I got into that, it became so fascinating of how I really felt for the man.
