Due to popular demand, four new dates have been added to the discussion series with Grammy® Award-winning singer/songwriter and Broadway producer Alicia Keys following the STICK FLY performances on Saturday, January 7 at 8PM, Monday February 6 at 7PM, Thursday, February 16 at 7PM and Sunday, February 26 at 7:30PM at the Cort Theatre (138 W. 48th Street). These discussions also include members of the cast with special appearances by friends of Ms. Keys as moderators.
Saturday’s talkback, following the 8 PM performance, was hosted by VH1 reality star La La Anthony (‘La La’s Full Court Life’).
Topics of these engaging discussions are far-ranging and have included music, class, race, politics and personal interpretations about the world of the LeVay family. STICK FLY is written by Lydia R. Diamond and directed by Kenny Leon.
“I love standing on stage with this incredible cast and talking to audiences after they experience the magic of seeing Stick Fly performed live,” says Ms. Keys. “I couldn’t resist adding more dates to this discussion series and I look forward to keeping the conversation going! Come join me, I love seeing you and hearing your thoughts and questions!”
