The casts (and their alumni) of Off-Broadway’s long-running hits THIS ONE’S FOR THE GIRLS and SISTAS: THE MUSICAL have been selected to perform the National Anthem for the New York Yankees home game vs. the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium, tonight, Wednesday, September 19th at 7:05 PM. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and the YES Network.
Next month, THIS ONE’S FOR THE GIRLS will celebrate its one-year anniversary on October 27th and SISTAS: THE MUSICAL will begin its eighth successful year on October 23rd.
THIS ONE’S FOR THE GIRLS looks at the role of women over the past 100+ years through iconic popular song hits. From the sad laments of fragile female victims (“As Long as He Needs Me”) to the angry anthems of women who are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore (“I Am Woman” and “You Don’t Own Me”), THIS ONE’S FOR THE GIRLS is a celebration of American women that’s proven to thrill men, women and everything in between.
SISTAS: THE MUSICAL, the longest-running African American musical in New York history, follows a group of sisters as they prepare to bury the matriarch of their family. While cleaning out her attic, the five women reflect on the history of their family and of African-American women through popular music spanning from Ma Rainey to Billie Holiday to Mary J. Blige to Beyoncé. T
