SIMPLY SIMONE: THE MUSIC OF NINA SIMONE

Prodigy. Superstar. Activist. Exile. One of the true divas of the 20th century, vocal powerhouse Nina Simone defied classification and defined a generation. This musical revue lays bare the rich legacy of an American icon whose work spans genres from jazz to gospel to blues to Broadway to rock and roll and features such definitive classics as “I Loves You Porgy,” “The Look of Love,” “My Baby Just Cares for Me,” and “Here Comes the Sun.” Heart-melting and hopeful, Simone’s spellbinding voice comes alive via four actresses in this incredibly soulful theatrical journey.

“An intriguing glimpse into the life of one of our most fascinating talents.” — BuffaloNews

Simply Simone: The Music of Nina Simone is performed in two acts with one 15 minute intermission.  The total run time is approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes.
