Two decades after its triumphant off-Broadway premiere, The Kingfish is back, with a special engagement of the one-man play depicting the life and times of famed Louisiana Gov. Huey P. Long at the location he called home in New Orleans – The Roosevelt New Orleans Thursday, Sept. 27, 2012.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. in the world-famous Blue Room. Featuring actor John “Spud” McConnell, the performance also will celebrate Long’s 119th birthday. McConnell has received national acclaim for his on-stage portrayals of Louisiana’s most colorful characters, including Long (The Kingfish), brother Earl K. Long (Earl Long in Purgatory) and Ignatius J. Riley (A Confederacy of Dunces). His career also has taken him to Hollywood for three seasons on ABC’s hit television show Roseanne. In addition, he can be heard weekdays on The Spud Show on WWL 870 AM.

General admission for the show is $65 per person, and VIP preferred seating is available for $80 per person, exclusive of tax. For reservations, call The Roosevelt at +1 (504) 335-3138. Complimentary valet parking is available for those who attend the show.

Performances of the acclaimed one-man play, “The Kingfish,” previously scheduled for Aug. 30 and 31 in the Blue Room, along with “Seersucker and Fizz” in the Sazerac Bar, have been canceled due to Hurricane Isaac. We apologize for any inconvenience. Ticketholders will be contacted directly by Roosevelt staff members.

The Roosevelt New Orleans will pay tribute to its remarkable and colorful past through the re-creation of the historic “Stormin’ of the Sazerac,” Friday, September 28, at 3 p.m. inside the hotel’s legendary Sazerac Bar.

The event commemorates the 63rd anniversary of the first occasion when women, normally admitted only on Mardi Gras, began to receive equal status year-round at this world-famous bar. Female guests would join their male counterparts anytime for the Sazerac cocktail made popular by the bar, the Ramos Gin Fizz that was a favorite of Gov. Huey P. Long, and other concoctions.

To properly honor the original “Stormin’,” which took place in 1949, guests are encouraged to wear late-1940s attire and partake in a “vintage glamour” costume contest with local celebrity judges. The winner will receive a one-night stay at The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The event will also include hourly drawings for special giveaways beginning at 3:30 p.m.

As part of the festivities, team members from The Roosevelt Emporium Gift Shop will model era hats while guests enjoy lip makeovers by Guerlain Spa and a vintage fashion show from RetroActive.
