WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Set in New York City, From My Hometown is a rags to riches tale of three young men (played by Kevin R.

In "New York State of Mind," Billy Joel sings about needing to get back to the City because he's been out of touch with the rhythm and the blues. Boy, would he be getting back in touch this week! For one thing, Ruth Brown, the so-called "Queen of Rhythm and Blues," is staging a comeback that has crowds hurrying to the East Side's Le Jazz Au Bar to see what greatness is. And, for another thing, the exhilarating From My Hometown has opened.
The three-man show -- what a trifecta of talented R&B-ers the singers are! -- is subtitled "A Rags to Riches Celebration of the American Dream in Classic Rhythm & Blues." The revue picks up where a few other shows about African-American aspirations have [...]
