Currently playing at The Pasadena Playhouse:
"Winner of four Washington D.C. Helen Hayes awards including Best Regional Musical, Crowns explores the lives of the "hat queens," six women in the South whose stories of love, loss, identity and sisterhood are woven into the hats that crown their heads and the songs that speak their truth. Based on the acclaimed coffee table book, Crowns captures the thrill of self expression with a series of intimate musical portraits."

I'm a bit of a Gospel fanatic, which is an interesting thing for an avowed atheist! I understand the score is traditional Gospel favorites - I'll be finding out this evening.

As they infamously claimed in the musical BARE, "Inside every gay man is a Black woman screaming to get out!" I guess I can only hope that tonight isn't the night that mine makes another appearance - I'm not really in the mood to be arrested for public disturbance.
