Hallelujah, Baby! tells of Georgina, an African-American woman on her journey to financial and social independence during oe of the most tumultuous socio-political times in U.S. history. A chronicle of the African-American struggle for equality during the first half of the 20th century, Hallelujah, Baby! launched the career of Broadway and TV legend Leslie Uggams. The rich score includes “My Own Morning,” “Talking to Yourself,” and “Being Good.” This presentation marks the New York premiere of the revised version that Laurents created for productions at the George Street Playhouse and Arena Stage in 2004 and 2005, with additional lyrics by Amanda Green. Gerry McIntyre (Spamilton, Choreography) is set to direct, making his Mufti debut.
