On January 21, MetroStage welcomed back  Bernardine Mitchell, S. Renee Clark and William Hubbard back to MetroStage to reprise their roles in MetroStage’s award winning production Mahaila, originally seen at MetroStage in 2004.

The musical biography of Mahalia Jackson stars the incomparable Helen Hayes Award winning Mitchell who  chronicles the life of the “Queen of Gospel Music” from her beginnings in the segregated South to her debut on the stage of Carnegie Hall, culminating in her triumphant performance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.   This brilliant musical tribute also features William Hubbard, who  received a Helen Hayes nomination for this performance.
