Episode 134: History of Black Theatre Part 23 – Donald McKayle’s Sophisticated Ladies

This week, we round out this February’s Black Theatre History series with a look at musical revues, Donald McKayle, and his 1981 revue, Sophisticated Ladies! We discuss jazz, modern dance, and Warren uses this episode to say “scat” more times than he has ever said it! It’s a toe tapping good time in this episode of Tone Deaf!
