The Jackie Wilson Story was first produced in 2000 and was an immediate smash hit. The highly popular national tour was launched in 2002, and culminated at the famous Apollo Theater in New York City, running a record of the most performances of a stage play at this historical New York City landmark. This contagious production chronicles the rise and fall of the admired musician and performer. Slightly different than the original version, the show will still include many of Wilson’s hits such as (Your Love Keeps Liftin’ Me) Higher & Higher, Danny Boy and Doggin’ Me Around. This time around the audience will also be treated to Frankie Lymons’ Goodie Goodie and the Crystals He’s A Rebel.
