Excellent show

High energy, excellent performance, superb singing and entertaining. Through personal stories, singing and dancing Melvin tells us the history, the struggle and the hope of disenfranchised, poor, and forgotten. If you like blues, tap dance and you have open mind and heart go see the show. It is definitely my pick of the fringe!
