Tutti Frutti The Musical, is a full length stage production starring Award Winning Actor, Dedrick Weathersby in the titular role; with stage direction by the accomplished Snoop Robinson, telling the story of The Architect of Rock and Roll, Richard Wayne Penniman, better known to The World as Little Richard. From his early days (1948) being discovered by the Godmother of Rock and Roll Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Starting out and spanning nearly 7 years of what would become a monumental career until his abrupt stop (1957); we see how a divided music industry, troubled but impactful childhood, sexual fluidity, ever so changing of the sounds of music and the murder and love for his father. shaped the artists’ work. A live band accompanies, bringing the passion of his music alive while offering a message of freedom, breaking racial boundaries, artistic exploration and being bold enough to be Authentically You. An six-piece band, led by local DFW favorite, Mike Herron accompanies the show, bringing the passion of Little Richard's music alive. Some songs include: “Lucille,” “Tutti Frutti,” “Slippin and A Sliddin,” “Good Golly Miss Molly,” “Long Tall Sally”, "Rip It Up" and Many More From the Creators of The Award Winning Musical "Remembering James- The Life and Music of James Brown"
