After enjoying a cosmo or two, you’re bound to be looking for some hot stuff and this musical has got you covered! Telling the story of musical icon Donna Summer over several periods of her life, the musical features an all star cast of three Donnas, played by Brittny Smith as “Diva Donna,” Charis Gullage as “Disco Donna”, and Amahri Edwards-Jones as “Duckling Donna.” Follow Donna as she blossoms from a young Boston girl in gospel choir to the barrier breaking, dance floor diva we’ve all come to know and love. The story was created by Tony Award nominee Colman Domingo, Robert Cary and Tony Award® winner Des McAnuff, and includes songs from Giorgio Moroder, Paul Jabara, and others and more than 20 of Summer’s classic hits, including “Love to Love You Baby,” “Bad Girls” and “Hot Stuff.” This specific production is directed by Lauren L. Sobon and choreographed by Natalie Caruncho, based on the original direction by Tony Award® winner Des McAnuff and original choreography by Tony Award® winner Sergio Trujillo. Along with award winning costumes, masterful lighting, and original scenic design, this show is destined to give you a night you will never forget.
