'Shuffle Along' review: Thrilling musical with A-list cast
Like its mouthful of a title, "Shuffle Along or the Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed," is not a conventional show. Nor should it be. Director/author George C. Wolfe has set out to reclaim a milestone in black entertainment, a long-running Broadway hit that, despite its huge influence, had dropped for what might have been forever off the radar screen of cultural understanding.
