Little Girl Blue (LGB), a musical inspired by Nina Simone’s life, written by and starring Laiona Michelle (Amazing Grace, Book of Mormon, American Hero), will open Off-Broadway at the Shubert Organization’s New World Stages (Stage V) on March 14, 2022, with previews beginning on March 5, as announced by the show’s lead producer, Rashad V. Chambers (co-producer of American Son, Tony Award-winning Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations, the critically acclaimed 2019 revival of Betrayal, and The Inheritance, The Music Man).
Originally scheduled to open February 28, Omicron (Covid 19) got in the way, a short deterrent to Laiona Michelle’s new musical and her performances at George Street Playhouse and Goodspeed to sold out audiences, where the reviews were raves. The exceptional trio of musicians that accompany Ms. Michelle on stage – Kenneth Salters, Saadi Zain, and pianist Mark Fifer who doubles as the production’s Music Director and Arranger. www.littlegirlblue.nyc
