Inspired by Gayle F. Wald鈥檚 book Shout, Sister, Shout!, this new musical tells the story of Sister Rosetta Tharpe鈥攐ne of America鈥檚 most influential rock, R&B and gospel crossover singers and guitarists. Ambitious, courageous and uncompromisingly public, Tharpe became a pioneer of the women鈥檚 movement for racial and sexual equality and musical legend who redefined the national and international music scene in the 1930s and 40s and beyond. Dive into Cheryl L. West鈥檚 spirited, authentic and emotionally charged story about a charismatic music forerunner and the authentic roots of rock & roll.
