Grammy® Award-winning singer/songwriter Alicia Keys presents and writes original music for the Broadway premiere of Lydia R. Diamond's critically-acclaimed play STICK FLY, directed by Kenny Leon. The production officially opened at the Cort Theatre last night, December 8, and BroadwayWorld was there to capture the curtain call!

It was supposed to be a relaxing weekend at the family home on Martha's Vineyard... until the baggage got unpacked. Set at the elegant summer home of the well-to-do LeVay family, STICK FLY begins when two adult sons bring their significant others (one a fiancée, the other a new girlfriend) home to meet their parents for the first time. Soon, secrets are revealed, civilities are dropped and identities are explored in a harsh new light. Race and rivalry, class and family, all come together for an explosive comedy of manners about today's complex world.
