The Sensational Josephine Baker June 20, 2012

Emerging Artists Theatre presents the Off-Broadway premiere of 'The Sensational Josephine Baker,' a comedic and moving musical portrait of the unique iconic Jazz Age legend, Josephine Baker. The unforgettable story of the one-and-only Josephine Baker springs to life in this tightly woven musical play featuring original music and several of Baker's signature songs. The story follows Josephine on her journey from conservative St. Louis, Missouri to the risque cabarets of the Rue Pigalle, France, from little girl to showgirl. Howard gives voice to this uncensored and emotional tale through an array of fascinating female characters and a raw, fearless portrayal of Ms. Baker herself in a series of defining moments.
