Sing Harlem Sing! is a musical from the creators of Mama, I Want to Sing! Set in a happening Harlem nightspot from back-in-the-day, it celebrates the soul-stirring power, energy and enthusiasm of the human voice. The musical presents a soulful score including gospel, R&B, jazz, and rock 'n' roll. You'll enjoy music from Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Sing Harlem Sing! originated at The Apollo Theater in 2008 and toured throughout Japan before playing a limited run at The Dempsey Theater in 2009. This show captures the highs and the lows, the moods, the feelings, the breakups and the make-ups, and the power of spirit.
