A WONDERFUL WORLD
Client: A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical
Role: Director
Get ready to party like it's 1929! The new Broadway production, A Wonderful World: the Louis Armstrong Musical, celebrates the life of trailblazing jazz legend and American icon, Louis Armstrong.
I was tasked with directing a spot to generate excitement for the show's upcoming preview and opening dates. To achieve this, I leveraged the star power of the leading man, Tony Award-winner James Monroe Iglehart. The film aims to transport audiences back to the vibrant world of jazz in the 20’s and prepare them for a wonderful romp through Satchmo's world. However, due to the productions James was performing in at that time, we couldn’t change his appearance (a.k.a.: no shaving). Which meant we couldn’t see his face…
God, I love a challenge!
