FRINGE: Africa & Plumbridge's magnificent cast

There hasn't been much buzz on the Fringe's "Africa & Plumbridge" yet since it only played to its first audience a day ago, but I heartily want to recommend sitting up close and seeing this magnificent cast of 16 kick some serious ass. They are young, beautiful and totally Broadway-level talent, especially the two leads Janeece Aisha Freeman as "Africa" and Liz McConahay (from The Full Monty) as "Sharon Plumbridge."

(Disclosure: I'm related to the book writer/director so I won't comment on his work and of course you can take anything I say with a grain of salt but...).

But I can tell you that the singing and dancing in this show will have you jumping out of your seat. The score is also GORGEOUS with soaring melodies that build and then top themselves. If you get serious voice-orgasms with great singing, don't miss the final three perfs of this show. It's at the Players Theatre in the Village. Already slated for a Broadway run -- producers are literally falling all over themselves to get involved (not kidding) -- see it now before it costs a hundred bucks.
Africa & Plumbridge

Dawg agrees wholeheartedly. I saw the show the other day as well. I have also seen a bunch of other Fringe musicals this year. They so often are disappointing-"Africa" does anything but. The cast is first rate, as is the score. This is quite clearly, in my eyes anyway, one of this year's best.
