A show inspired by the life of Nina Simone, and featuring many of her most iconic songs performed live, is stopping off at Crewe Lyceum.
Performed by Nicholle Cherrie, Apphia Campbell’s acclaimed play “Black is the Color of my Voice” by Apphia Campbell, follows the singer and civil rights activist as she seeks redemption after the untimely death of her father.
She reflects on the journey that took her from a young piano prodigy destined for a life in the service of the church to a renowned jazz vocalist at the forefront of the civil rights movement.
The show has toured the UK nationally to standing ovations and played sell-out seasons in Shanghai, New York, Edinburgh and the West End of London.
It stops off in Crewe on Wednesday, 16th October. It has an age restriction of 12+ due to references to violence and racism.
