Síntesis:
Gaines provides an in-depth look into the rise of the 1921 Broadway hit, Shuffle Along, the first all-Black musical to succeed on Broadway. No one was sure if America was ready for a show featuring nuanced, thoughtful portrayals of Black characters--and the potential fallout was terrifying. But from the first jazzy, syncopated beats of composers Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake, New York audiences fell head over heels. It became a runaway Broadway hit that launched the careers of many of the twentieth century's most beloved Black performers. Gaines reveals the revolutionary impact one show had on generations of Americans, and how its legacy continues to resonate today--Adapted from book jacket.
