“The production, directed and choreographed by Joey McKneely, is dazzling, with a parade of beautiful sets by Paul Tate dePoo III, and countless opulent costumes by Eduardo Sicangco.”

“The costumes, along with scenic designer Paul Tate dePoo III’s Erte-sculpted sets, are magnificent and well worth the price of admission.”

-Your Observer

“With a stage filled with gorgeous costumes, scenery and lighting, bright performances and lively dance routines set to catchy songs, “Josephine” is a musical that celebrates an old-fashioned kind of stage razzmatazz while telling the story of Josephine Baker.”
