About this episode
This week we're celebrating Black artists in musical theatre, just like the delightful musical PLAY ON! Join us as we welcome original Broadway cast member (and "Beyonce's mom") Yvette Cason to discuss this gone too soon musical that not only introduced teenage Jeff to her incredible talents (this woman can SING!) but also the legendary work of Duke Ellington and many others. *Warning- you may want to take notes, so you'll remember which YouTube rabbit hole to go down first! If you're interested in the Original Cast Album of PLAY ON! you can find it here on Amazon. The podcast Yvette mentions with her PLAY ON! castmate Angela Robinson is a live Instagram conversation called ARTIST TALK . Be sure to follow all things Yvette Cason on her Instagram and Twitter !
