Little Miss Rhythm
Synopsis:
A fitting Dramatic and musical tribute to the Rhythm & Blues queen Ruth Brown who ruled the black music world in the 1950s, this play with music features the classic soul sounds of Atlantic Records in an autobigraphical look at the early days of R&B through the eyes of the legendary R&B diva herself - four women play four dimensions of this African American heroine. Large mixed cast includes singing, dancing and acting roles for up to16 men and one other woman.
