About the show

Backed by an 8-piece jazz ensemble and featuring an African-American cast of rising stars, this Jazz Age musical follows four young New Orleans artists who become friends and lovers. More…

'For the Last Time' is inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel 'The Marble Faun.' In 1950’s New Orleans, four artists create an Eden of music and art. But the past forces its way into their lives, and an act of passion changes everything.
