According to the Huffington Post, Holler If You Hear Me, a musical inspired by the music of the late, great Tupac Shakur is in the works. Directed by Kenny Leon, the musical is not autobiographical but rather a story inspired by the lyrics and music of the legendary rapper. Todd Krickler is writing the book and Leon is looking forward to "changing the face of musical theater." Leon is currently casting African-American male and female rappers between 18 to 35 years old and one Caucasian actor/musician between the age of 20 and 25. Workshops for the actors will be held in NYC this summer and Leon is hopeful to be able to bring the show to Broadway in the next Broadway season. A poll on The Huffington Post shows that an overwhelming majority of people are interested in seeing the play, are you?
