"Imagine Hair or Godspell, throw in a helping of Motown and filter the whole thing through the pyrotechnics of American Idol." -- The New York Times

"Infectious pop-and-soul music with a succession of high-voltage performances." -- Newsday

"Brooklyn will have a revered place in music-theatre history as the landmark musical of the first decade of the third millennium." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer

Direct from Broadway, Brooklyn The Musical is a new musical by Mark Schoenfeld and Barri McPherson, directed by Tony award nominee Jeff Calhoun, with music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Grammy & Emmy award winner John McDaniel. The cast for the 2006 summer tour is led by American Idol's Diana DeGarmo as Brooklyn, and Tony Award winners Melba Moore (as Paradice) and Cleavant Derricks (as Streetsinger). Derricks starred in the original Broadway cast of Brooklyn The Musical. Also from the Broadway production are Julie Reiber as Faith and Lee Morgan as Taylor Collins.

From the heart of Brooklyn comes a band of soulful street-corner singers and storytellers. With a mix of pop and soul, they set their stage and tell a wondrous sidewalk fairy tale about a young girl searching for fame and the father she never knew. With just one clue to lead her, she lands in the city that bears her name...BROOKLYN.
