The Launching Of The New Barry White Off Broadway Musical On June 14, 2007 In NYC
Wabi Sabi Production's new Off Broadway musical and mini concert that explores the life and music of legendary musical great Barry White, opens June 14th to June 24th, 2007 in New York City. The Play, Barry White:Guided By Destiny, features Lanar as Barry White. ProductionHub.com the leading online resource and industry directory for film, television, video and digital media production is supporting the new production as an event partner.
A scarcity of musicals about contemporary African American musicians has Inspired writer, producer and director Emmitt Thrower in collaboration with Lanar to create this ground breaking play entitled "Barry White:Guided By Destiny". The play focuses on the Barry White you don't know. The Barry that struggled mightily to overcome poverty, gangs, violence, and a life of crime to achieve his measure of success.
The play had a staged reading to a sold out audience on April 28, 2007 in NYC at the Times Square Arts Center located at 300 W43rd street. The mini Barry White concert at the end of play reconnected many to his soulful classic music. The musical will debut at a larger venue June 14th to June 24th, 2007 at the Times Square Arts Center 300 W 43rd street at the 411 Theater, Room 411, NYC 10036. Show times are Thursday-Saturday at 8pm, Saturday at 3pm, Sunday at 4pm. Tickets are $25.00 To $42.50.
