About This Production

This critically acclaimed, off-Broadway musical combines cabaret, theater, and dance to tell the story of the iconic Josephine Baker, the first African American international superstar and one of the most remarkable figures of the 20th Century. The 1930s luminary pushed the boundaries of race, gender, and sexuality, while living an extraordinary life as her most authentic self. Josephine is a brilliant, one-woman tour de force that celebrates Josephine’s life journey, while highlighting her most famous acts, from songs like “Blue Skies” and “La Vie en Rose,” to the dance routine that established her stardom, the Danse Sauvage, also known as the banana dance.

Please Note: This production features partial nudity, on-stage wardrobe changes, and sexually suggestive dances where the actor is only wearing pasties, underwear, and fishnet stockings.
