Award-winning Broadway dynamo Darius de Haas (Rent, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Carousel, Shuffle Along, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) creates and stars in a show spotlighting the life and songbook of the great Sam Cooke.
Cooke’s rise during his tragically short life took him from local gospel singer to international pop/soul icon to trailblazing entrepreneur to civil rights activist. De Haas recreates Cooke’s enduring songs and tracks, from classics of romance (“Wonderful World,” “You Send Me,” “Cupid,” “For Sentimental Reasons”) to an anthem of revolution (“A Change is Gonna Come”) and many others. An illuminating look at the legacy of a hugely influential artist and a man with the voice of an angel.
Watch a video of Sam Cooke performing “You Send Me.”
