DOMINION ENTERTAINMENT GROUP PRESENTS: Mahalia: A Gospel Musical, featuring music by various gospel composers, as well as hymns and spirituals made famous by Mahalia Jackson, Mahalia is a joyous celebration of the life and music of the world’s greatest gospel singer: a humble, deeply religious woman whose expressive, full-throated voice carried her from a three-room shanty in New Orleans to appearances before presidents and royalty. The joy and inspiration of Mahalia’s heartfelt songs provide a counterpoint to the urgent messages delivered by her friend, Rev. Martin Luther King. Jr. Standing at his side, Mahalia Jackson became the musical voice of the civil rights movement.
