From humble beginnings in Louisiana, Lloyd Price overcame incredible obstacles on his way to a revolutionary career. His songs shattered the racial divide in music and helped lay the foundation for rock ‘n roll. He was the first teenager to sell over a million records and earn a Gold Record, and the first musical artist to start his own label. Price’s tunes were recorded by Elvis, Aretha, Little Richard, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Amy Winehouse and more. Lloyd Price was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and this new musical celebrates his life and legacy.

The full creative team includes book by B. Jeffrey Madoff with Lloyd Price, Music and Lyrics by Lloyd Price, Direction by Sheldon Epps, Choreography by Edgar Godineaux, Music Supervision by Shelton Becton and UK Casting by Pearson Casting.
