Finger-snappin' 'Smokey Joe's Cafe' is a departure for CLO

Post Gazette: "But strictly speaking, 'Smokey Joe's Cafe,' a revue of popular songs by the fecund team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, now playing at Pittsburgh CLO, isn't really a musical at all. A singing ensemble of eight and an onstage band of seven perform some 39 songs, plus a number of reprises, without any more attempt at narrative continuity than to let one song speak to the next."
