JOSEPHINE: A MUSICAL CABARET starring Tamysha Harris as Josephine Baker at The District Theatre

Before Ella, Tina, Billie, or Beyoncé – there was Josephine!

Josephine Baker was the first African-American international superstar and one of the most remarkable figures of the 20th century. In this multi-award-winning biographical musical that combines cabaret, theatre, burlesque, and dance, we follow Baker’s incredible exploits that were groundbreaking for her time and still incredible nearly a century later. Tymisha Harris stars in this dazzling retelling of her revolutionary life as a singer, movie star, WWII spy, civil rights activist, and so much more.

Created by Tymisha Harris, Michael Marinaccio, and Tod Kimbro
