In Saints and Shadows, the streets of New Orleans come alive — a city of rhythm, reverence, and resilience. The show opens with the timeless call of “When the Saints Go Marching In,” inviting us into a world where brass bands echo through narrow alleys and spirit lingers in every note.

But beneath the celebration lies the shadow — the haunting strains of “House of the Rising Sun” reveal the city’s darker corners, where history and heartache are inseparable. From there, “Down in New Orleans” reminds us of the city’s warmth, color, and soul — a place that sings even in its sorrow.

As “Hurricane Season” surges with Trombone Shorty’s explosive energy, the storm of sound gives way to rebirth and renewal. Finally, the Saints return — stronger, prouder, and louder than before — a triumphant reminder that in New Orleans, even the shadows dance to the music.
