Shows · Shuffle Along, Or The Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed
Part musical, part history lesson, the show tells the behind-the-scenes story of the creation of the groundbreaking 1921 all-Black musical Shuffle Along. It follows the creative partnership and eventual falling out of Eubie Blake, Noble Sissle, Flournoy Miller, and Aubrey Lyles as they struggle against racism and the entertainment industry to mount their revolutionary show, which would change Broadway forever.
