An African-American women’s musical history from “God Bless the Child” to Destiny’s Child.

Produced by three-time Tony winner Hinton Battle and directed by Smash's Kenneth Ferrone, the production follows five women as they prepare to bury the matriarch of their family. 

The women discuss their family history and the history of African-American women through popular music spanning from Billie Holiday to Beyonce and from Ma Rainey to Mary J. Blige. This soulful and laugh-out-loud show goes from pain to pride to power, from “Oh, Happy Day,” “Mr. Big Stuff,” and “I Will Survive” to “Tyrone,” “I am Not My Hair,” and “A Woman’s Worth.”

  • A fun evening of music and the inspirational power of family was had by all at Sistas the Musical. 
    Sistas
    incorporates 38 songs many of them musical anthems of female empowerment. The songs are literally an American songbook from Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday to The Supremes and Beyoncé. Allowing the talented cast to effortlessly take us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, while remaining thought-provoking, enlightening and upbeat. The music is the backdrop to a well-crafted script by playwright Dorothy Marcic and on target directing by Kenneth Ferrone. One of the most gratifying aspects of the musical is that although it is an all female cast the musical does not bash men! This makes it a perfect date night.

  • Sistas: The Musical is a warm and touching story about friendship and family. Marcic's true accounts of the Black woman's spirituality resonate in her writing. She truly captures our essence in a very engaging way.
