- Sep 1, 2009
Nicknamed the Black Venus, Josephine Baker, one of the United States?s most glamorous and legendary expats, is the dramatic subject of ?Looking for Josephine,? a wildly splashy musical revue, which after opening at Paris?s L?Opéra Comique in 2006 and playing to over 200 sold-out houses was seen in theaters throughout Europe before returning to Paris twice more, where it was once again greeted with standing-room-only crowds. Directed by Jérôme Savary and starring American musical artist Nicolle Rochelle, plus a cast of 22 Cuban, Chilean, French and American dancers, actors, tappers, singers and musicians, ?Looking for Josephine? makes its American debut at Peak Performances@Montclair, September 17-27.
