Commissioned by For Colored Girls Productions, “The Princess of 57th Street,” is a family musical that reinvents the classic Cinderella story. A young girl from economically depressed Philadelphia, dreams of being a modern princess influenced by images of pop culture royalty. Her dreams come to life when she discovers that she is descended from true African nobility. Journeying to Africa and experiencing the life of a true princess, her life is enriched in ways she could never imagine. With seventeen original songs, co-written with composer, Kurt Farquhar, the coming of age musical goes on a young girl’s journey to Africa and back, and reveals her connection to all of humanity.
