When Hell Freezes Over, I'll Skate - starring Lynne Thigpen DVD

This lively, spirit-lifting musical celebrates the sheer joy - and survival - of black music, song and poetry since the days of America's Civil War. With utter grace and ease, the gifted eight-member singing ensemble glides from gospel to disco and from slave quarter sermons to contemporary black poetry. Stars TonyŽ - winners Cleavant Derricks (Dreamgirls) and the late Lynne Thigpen (An American Daughter, The District).
