Josephine B. - A life in revue
‘Josephine B.’ tells the story of the world's most famous revue star: Josephine Baker. Who doesn't know the dance in the spicy banana skirt, the big break in Paris for the American-born revue star. After that, things move fast. Lightning fast. In the early 1920s, Josephine made her debut on Broadway, becoming the first black ‘superstar’.
She not only winds the public around her finger, but also a whole host of men. As a spy, she joins the French resistance. She also uses her name and fame in the fight against racial discrimination. Josephine Baker turns out to be more, so much more than a singer dressed in feathers.
You don't give a revue star her own musical. You give a revue star her own revue. A dazzling, humorous, moving, surprising, dazzling revue about her turbulent life. With beautiful songs, including some evergreens.
With Channah Hewitt (TINA - The Tina Turner Musical & Les Misérables) as Josephine, surrounded by eight handsome, dancing, singing and playing men and a five-piece live orchestra.
