Discover Mama I Want To Sing, the longest running African-American Off-Broadway musical in American history! The New York Times wrote: "Infectious joy emanates from every group number. Impeccable vocals throughout. It's hard to resist."

• Soul-Stirring voices
• Gospel, R&B, Jazz and Rock ‘n' Roll music in one show

Mama, I Want to Sing: The Next Generation tells the story of a talented young gospel singer who embraces secular music, despite the strong objections of her mother. As a tribute to many of the African-American singers who rose from church choirs to stardom during the 1960s and 70s, Vy Higginsen based the musical on the life of her sister, Doris Troy, whose 1963 hit "Just One Look", launched her to international fame.
