Paradise - When Jazz Was Swingin’


Meet Latica Jones. She is a cross between Ella Fitzgerals and Mark Twain and has a comment about everything from the bathrooms in a restaurant, to the true meaning of divorce, to what makes life worth living.


You’ll laugh, you’ll dance, you’ll cry. A magical musical that will inspire you to be “the best you can be”.


We follow Latica through her first inpirations, her time at the legendary Montreal Jazz club Rockheads Paradise and the trials and tribulations of being a Jazz singer and a Mother. Ken Rabow’s finest musical.
