(The Beckett Theatre- Theatre Row, 410 West 42nd Street, New York, NY, 10036)(See website for schedule)
A rich, comedic, moving musical portrait of the unique iconic Jazz Age legend, Josephine. The unforgettable story of the one and only Josephine Baker springs to life in this tightly woven musical play featuring several of Baker's signature songs. The story follows Josephine on her journey from conservative St. Louis to the risquë cabarets of the Rue Pigalle, France, from little girl to showgirl. A raw, fearless portrayal of Ms. Baker herself in a series of defining moments: from the hilarious antics which rescued her from the obscurity of the chorus, to the humiliation of being shunned by a narrow-minded American public, to her life-long search for unconditional love.., compelled throughout it all by an enduring passion to live life to the fullest. ($70)
