This autumn there is not one, butTWO mesmerizing musicals to enjoy in a stunning double bill of theatre. Josephine: A Burlesque Cabaret Dream Play is the award-winning story of Josephine Baker, the first African American international superstar, and one of the 20th century’s most formidable icons. Josephine rose to fame after moving to Europe, where she shattered race, gender, and sexuality stereotypes. While the new show from the same creative team is Josie and Grace: A Mostly Historical Cabaret Dream Play. This performance combines Josephine’s story with one of the most remarkable figures of the 20th Century, Academy Award winning actress and Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly. Josie and Grace includes cabaret-style songs, cinematic scenes, and narration and gives audiences a peek behind the curtains of these legendary stars and their lifelong friendship. Get tickets for one—or both incredible shows!
