"ROSETTA is an original musical exploring the forgotten legacy of Black musical pioneer Rosetta Tharpe (1915-1973). Embracing the musical styles of gospel, blues, swing and a love ballad in two acts, this new musical by Candyce Rusk (book, lyrics and additional music) and Craig Toungate (music, additional lyrics) tells the passionate and bold story of Rosetta Tharpe, while revealing her profound influence on the American musical canon."
