The world premiere of new musical HALLMARKED on Hale Centre Theatre’s brand new Miller Family Beehive Stage strikes just the right balance for all potential audience members. If you are a rom-com skeptic, you’ll probably go in looking for a deconstruction of the genre’s tropes, and although you might be hoping for more, you should find enough there to satisfy you.  However, it’s ultimately a sweet, simple love story, and if you are a Hallmark aficionado, you’ll find all the makings of the movies you love.

While most people knew Chadwick Boseman for his blockbuster appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as T’Challa/Black Panther, the actor was also a playwright and director. His early career was spent treading the boards in New York, where he became a Drama League Directing Fellow at 24 years old in 2000. His most celebrated play is now premiering in the UK 21 two decades after its American debut.

With book by Connor McPherson alongside the songs of Bob Dylan, the jukebox musical’s UK and New York debuts in 2017 and 2018, respectively, earned favorable reviews and award nominations.
