Dorothy Dandridge

Award - Winning Dorothy Dandridge! The Musical is a joyous, spectacular, song and dance celebration of a fearless pioneer who dared to dream! As she intones in the rousing final number, "For all the kings and queens and in-betweens crowding round my door... pity me not." Dorothy Jean Dandridge, a beautiful, ambitious, and talented African-American girl from Ohio, dreams of lighting up the stage and silver screen in the 1950s. When she finally gets her "big break" in Hollywood, she inherits the challenges of a leading black woman! The show breaks new ground as it unites the story of one of the most acclaimed actresses of our time, set to an innovative, contemporary, genre-crossing original score. This hotly anticipated and bold production, presented by an award-winning Broadway and Hollywood team, premiered at Carnegie Hall in July 2022!
