Tupac on Broadway?
According to BlackVoices, the late iconic rapper’s music will be honored in a Broadway musical, entitled ‘Holler if Ya Hear Me’.
Directed by Kenny Leon, the musical will begin casting in New York City on March 10th and is seeking African American Male and Female rappers between the ages of 18 – 35, in addition to one “Caucasian actor” between the ages 20 – 25 with a “strong facility for rap and terrific guitar skills.”
“The idea was always to make a musical inspired by his music and not to do an autobiographical approach to his life or anything like that,” he said. “And because I always thought that Tupac was a prophet and I thought if everybody could hear his words and hear his stories, they would see what I see. So we are going to probably do a big workshop in New York this summer and I’m going to try to bring it to Broadway in the next Broadway season.”
