Louis & Keely Live at the Sahara
Louis & Keely Live at the Sahara
by Vanessa Claire Smith & Jake Broderdirected by Jeremy Aldridge
Before the Rat Pack, There Was Louis and Keely.
The music-filled tale of Louis, the legendary King of the Swingers, and his relationship with Keely, his most famed duetting partner - and fourth wife. Featuring such favorites as That Old Black Magic, Just a Gigolo, I've Got You Under My Skin, Autumn Leaves and more!
Inspired by the birth of Vegas and the lounge acts that made the desert oasis a legendary breeding ground for crooners, Louis & Keely is a vintage love story set to the beat of jazz. Inspired by true events, Louis & Keely Live at the Sahara examines the hardship every artist sacrifices for art, while celebrating the smooth tunes that made Louis and Keely one tough act to follow.
