Opening their 52nd Mainstage Season, Black Repertory Group proudly presents the critically acclaimed, highly requested and anticipated return of this staged musical journey. Back by popular demand and featuring the debut of new enticing scenes; that draw us even closer to Natalie Cole. Written by Dr. Mona Vaughn-Scott and Directed by Sean Vaughn Scott. "Unforgettable: A Natalie Cole Story Love, Life & Her Music" is a brilliant course that examines the daughter of the legendary Nat King Cole. Natalie became an Icon; with a career spanning 4 decades, 30 million record sales and 9 Grammy Awards.
Dee Dee Simon reprises her role and brings life to the great Natalie Cole. The vitality of Ms. Simon's range adorns the audience with the essence and spectacular presence of Ms. Cole. Guesting as Albertina Walker the Dynamic Ms. Faye Carol commands the BRG Stage in an emotional tribute to the Queen of Gospel Music. The notable All-Star BRG Cast also boasts appearances by Clarence Ray Johnson Jr. and Cheryl Patrick-Williams.
"This has been one heck of an experience. It challenged me as Whitney Houston did. These women were around the Greats and their style of singing is so far from today. Natalie had range out of this world; she just flat out sang. It has put me in a vocal gym. This is what it is all about." Dee Dee Simon
Ms.Simon along with the talented BRG Cast will serve as edification to the soul and spirit of the fabulous songstress we all love, Natalie Cole.
