Homecoming
A riveting tour-de-force, Colman Domingo is coming to New York with his beautifully passionate, feel-good “A Boy And His Soul”, a journey through Philadelphia, San Francisco and New York with Soul Music. A regular on stages across America, Colman is breathtaking - I saw a production of ABAHS in California, and was absolutely blown away! If you want to have fun, be moved to tears, laugh your ass off, this is it!!! And it helps to say that he looks good in a tank ;) Deliciously delightful!
