Presented by Gary Wilmot / Produced by Nicky Barranger
WINNER of the CRE RACE IN THE MEDIA AWARD
The 1990s have seen three award-winning musicals in London with all-black casts: Five Guys Named Moe, Carmen Jones and Porgy and Bess at the Royal Opera House. All-black shows are not, however, a new phenomenon, nor is the presence of black performers in West End musicals. This one-hour musical documentary traces the history of black musical theatre in London, from In Dahomey, which transferred from New York 1903, to the recent revival of Carmen Jones. It is a gently-told story, rich in musical illustrations.
