"Welcome to Big Mama's, a down and dirty blues club in Chicago where a trio of singers will take you on a two-hour musical journey as they perform over two dozen blues songs. Low Down Dirty Blues, the jukebox musical set at Big Mama's and having its Phoenix premiere at Arizona Theatre Company, may be slight with only a wisp of a story, but the performers in this production are excellent as they infuse the songs with heat, humor, and a big dose of emotion...

"...“Low Down Dirty Blues,”...celebrates gritty, electric Chicago blues... three powerhouse singers feeling their musical oats ... the creation of director Randal Myler and musical director Dan Wheetman, who previously collaborated on...shows (that) all delivered reliable concert experiences, sometimes with some interesting historical narrative or context. None of that here, though... - "Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic (click here to read the complete review)
"...For the most part, the emphasis is on flirty humor... With that section and its laugh comes a moment of anger... But what you'll leave the theatre with more than anything else is the sound of the blues ringing in your head.... " -David Appleford, Valley Screen and Stage (click here to read the complete review)
"...Felicia P. Fields... and (her)... fellow juke joint musicians Shake Anderson, Chic Street Man (guitar and vocals), Calvin Jones (bass), and Steve Schmidt (keyboard).... put the sass, sex, and verve into Randal Myler and Dan Wheetman's LOWDOWN DIRTY BLUES, the intoxicating and rocking revue that is shaking up Herberger Theater's Center Stage...
