W-W-M-D: What would Michelle do?
How are you supposed to survive high school, get accepted into Princeton, and convince your crush that you are not, in fact, "just like a sister" to him?? As Marcus says, "we all know good and well Michelle would walk out there in full black girl magic with a dope fit, hair laid, and them arms and she would turn this whole situation around quicker than you can say Obama!"
But for Jamila, it's not that easy.
Debuting in 2021 at City Springs Theatre Company as a movie-musical, Beautiful Hair was such a hit it reached over 60,000 audience members that season. With an infectious score that fuses hip-hop, R&B, and pop, this forty-five minute coming-of-age musical is sure to inspire, uplift, and teach the greatest lesson of all: self-love.
Beautiful Hair is the story of an academically gifted, African-American high school senior named Jamila who runs for Student Body President as she attempts to improve her academic resume for Princeton. When Jamila finds herself the target of a cruel bully who just so happens to be the most popular girl in school, she is forced to confront the bully, her fears and her deepest insecurities.
Hip-hop, R&B, and pop. Each license comes with the basic performance tracks (piano/bass/drums) and a piano/vocal score for rehearsal. The "Blow Your Beautiful Hair Back" supplemental performance tracks turn things up by adding all the drums, bass, keyboards, horns, strings and sound effects.
Rehearsal tracks with vocal parts coming soon as a supplemental material (please let us know if you are interested!)
