  • Welcome to the Jazz Lion’s Den, a journey through Levy Lee Simon’s debut Memoir Odyssey Towards The Light

    In this final episode, Levy Lee Simon celebrates his Broadway debut with 'The Kentucky Cycle' at the Royal Theatre. He emphasizes the support received from his friend Nathaniel “Pop” Brown and the challenges faced, including mixed critical reception, notably from Frank Rich of the New York Times. Despite receiving standing ovations and emotional audience responses, the play was unable to run its full course. The experience marked an important moment in Simon's career, transitioning him from being in a drug treatment facility in the South Bronx to performing on the Broadway stage.
