RAY CHARLES LIVE! - A New Musical
Book by Suzan-Lori Parks
Directed by Sheldon Epps
Must close - December 23!
Ray Charles touched perhaps more
bases than any other performer in American musical
history, mastering everything from rhythm and blues, to
gospel, to jazz, to country music and pop-delivering them
all with equal expertise. RAY CHARLES LIVE - A New
Musical will bring to the stage this incredible
variety of musical styles capturing the energy,
the hard driving musicality, and the excitement and
electricity of Charles live onstage. Beyond that it will
examine the emotional forces which shaped the man who made
the music, and depicts his struggles and challenges, the
fascinating people in his life, as well as his incredible
triumphs and his joy. As he forces himself to dig deeper
and deeper over the course of this momentous recording
session, it will allow us to reveal not just
his story, but the true soul of the man whose life and
music actually helped to define soul.
RAY CHARLES LIVE! – A New Musical
features many of Charles’ hits including: “Georgia on My
Mind,” “What’d I Say,” “Mess Around,” “Hit The Road,
Jack,” “Unchain My Heart,” “I Got a Woman” and
“Hallelujah, I Love Her So.”
