      If you are a fan of gospel music and song, then hightail it to the New McCree Theare and get a load of their current show.It's an incredible 2 hours of song and story revolving around the rise of an obscure group of bakup singers to chart-topping stardom.All of the music is original. Infact,gospel music virtuoso Lannie Spann McBride,of Jackson MS,composed & arranged the score expressly for this production.Charles Winfrey wrote script & added a few songs. The story of 3 singers who decide to go it alone when the lead singer,Johnnie Gospel,strays from his calling and fires them.The Gospelettes venture out &fall apart.They revamp after years of disarray leading to 2 groups of Gospelettes plus one. More mayhem insues with a court case and more music & mishaps. A fine balance of musicians,led by Phillip Young,& vocals. Set changes r handled smoothly by a crew of chorus members with attention paid to fine details by director,Cathy Johnson. Symbolism is hard to miss.787.2200 4 tics. 12/16-18 Collapse

      According to the Flint Journal's theatre critic in referring to The Frankie Lymon Story, "this one tops them all." She continues: "For baby boomers, this show is an exciting nostalgic return to the beginnings of rock n' roll. Wonderful tunes such as "Goody, Goody," "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," and "Little Bitty Pretty One" are just a smattering of the show's ballads and doo-wop music." Collapse
