THE SHOW

“In my book, the sold out evening proved to be a highlight of the 2019 season.”

— by Don Grigware

The Soul of Broadway - Impossible Dreams starring Terron Brooks (produced by 4 Times Entertainment (creators of nationally recognized pop vocal group The Company Men), will bring Broadway to audiences in a fresh new way as Brooks reinterprets your favorite classic and contemporary Broadway songs. A two-time NAACP Award and Ovation Award nominee, Brooks is best known for portraying Eddie Kendricks in NBC’s Emmy Award-winning mini-series The Temptations and star of Broadway’s Lion King as Simba and Hairspray as Seaweed.

The evening will boast an array of newly arranged Broadway favorites by Mark Vogel, Terron Brooks and Sylvia MacCalla such as a 90’s R&B take on “Not While I’m Around” from Sweeney Todd, “Something’s Coming” from West Side Story, sonically inspired by a mix of Michael Jackson and Bruno Mars and a stripped down anthemic rendition of “Tomorrow” from Annie, to name a few.

This night of reimagined songs will take audiences through a journey of love, loss, and the hope of a new tomorrow. The Soul of Broadway pulls back the curtain for a behind the scenes look at what it takes to live out impossible dreams.
