“Extraordinary! Ma Rainey rides on the exultant notes of the blues.” - NEWSWEEK
Legendary 1920s blues singer Ma Rainey and her musicians gather in a run-down Chicago studio to record new sides of old favorites when generational and racial tensions suddenly explode. The Huntington completes Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner August Wilson’s Century Cycle with this searing drama, Wilson’s first Broadway hit. Featuring a stellar cast including Yvette Freeman (TV’s “ER”) as Ma Rainey and local favorites Jason Bowen, Thomas Derrah, and Will LeBow.
