NaTasha Yvette Williams, Nkeki Obi-Melekwe and More Join DELTA BLUE Concert at The Sheen Center
The cast will also feature JD Mollison, Keziah John Paul and more.
The Sheen Center for Thought and Culture has announced the full cast for its annual fundraiser – Delta Blue: The Making of a New Musical—a unique behind-the-scenes showcase of songs and stories from the new musical at The Sheen Center's Loreto Theatre on Saturday, May 1st at 7:00 p.m.
Written by Trey Ellis and Matt Williams, with music by Masi Asare and Jimmy Vivino, Delta Blue, a sweeping new American musical currently in development, follows one man's journey as he wrestles with his troubled past and struggles to save everything dear to him. Set in 1946, the story takes us on a compelling trek from the raw, soulful melodies of the Mississippi Delta to the electrifying rhythms of Memphis' Beale Street and the smoky nightclubs of Chicago. Delta Blue is produced by Tamara Tunie and directed by Kent Gash.
The Sheen Center Benefit Concert cast includes Nkeki Obi-Melekwe (Broadway: The Tina Turner Musical), NaTasha Yvette Williams (Broadway: Some Like It Hot), JD Mollison (Broadway: Les Miserables), Keziah John Paul (Broadway: The Book of Mormon), Josh Tower (Broadway: School of Rock) and Terance Reddick (Broadway: Les Miserables). Casting by The TRC Company/Peter Van Dam, CSA.
Delta Blue: The Making of a New Musical will be presented at The Loreto Theatre at The Sheen Center. A talkback with the cast and creatives will take place after the concert. Tickets are $59.00 - $79.00 (includes a post-show cast meet & greet).
