NEW PLAY: Alicia Keys
SINGER ALICIA Keys is expanding her repertoire and will write the original score for an upcoming Broadway musical, Stick Fly.
The 30-year-old, who also produced the play, said that she was beyond excited about her new project.
She said: "As someone who walked up and down this boulevard as a young girl, I cannot describe the thrill of having the opportunity of composing songs for a Broadway show.
Stick Fly, a contemporary comedy starring ER actor, Mekhi Phifer and West Wing's Dulé Hill, and revolves around the interactions and revelations within an affluent black family during a vacation.
"I love the humor and humanity of Stick Fly, and I'm so excited to be a part of the emotional journey this show will take audiences on," said Keys
