Two Words: Tupac Musical

posted in: Music News

holler-if-ya-hear-meThat’s right, folks, Tupac Shakur‘s music is now the basis of a new Broadway musical entitled Holler If Ya Hear Me.

The good news is that this will not be a biographical narrative, despite the personal lyrical nature of the title song, but rather, according to Entertainment Weekly, a “story about two friends in the inner-city in the Midwest.” Todd Kreidler wrote the play and Broadway veteran Kenny Leon will direct.

The show is authorized by Shakur’s mother Afeni Shakur, who runs her son’s estate. She will serve as a producer. Holler If Ya Hear Me opens June 19th.
