Broadway Theatre Archive: When Hell Freezes Over, I'll Skate

The New York Times has Deemed this Extraordinary Collection to be "the Crown Jewels of Public and Network Television."

This lively, spirit-lifting musical celebrates the sheer joy - and survival - of black music, song and poetry since the days fo America's Civil War. With utter grace and ease, the gifted eight-member singing ensemble glides from gospel to disco and from slave quarter sermons to contemporary black poetry. Stars Tony-winners Cleavant Derricks (Dreamgirls) and Lynne Thigpen (An American Daughter).
