Fannie Lou Hamer
This is the official site for Fannie Lou musical, an original dramatic work conceived and written by
Felicia Hunter. To date, Fannie Lou and its sister production "Scenes and Songs from Fannie Lou" have been performed before a variety of audiences and in various locations in Connecticut, Washington, DC, and New York City -- including a performance at world-renowned Carnegie Hall, and a performance at
Yale University marking the 100th anniversary of Mrs. Hamer's birth. These productions have been received by enthusiastic audience members
and sold-out crowds.
Fannie Lou Off-Broadway World Premiere Curtain Call
New York City, October 2012
The story of Fannie Lou Hamer and the fight for voting rights is not singular. On the contrary, as we look back over decades of struggles involving fairness and decency, we see a number of Fannie Lou Hamers who stood up for what was right and fair and just. Audience members have lauded Fannie Lou Musical for how it stands on its own as an original dramatic musical, and for Felicia's uniquely creative way of relaying
Mrs. Hamer's story.
Here's what some of them have said: *
"The messages conveyed through lyrics and song were powerful."
****************
"Excellent production; good, complete story/scripting; good cast."
****************
"Great production. Really enjoyed the performance and singing."
****************
"Excellent production and accurate accounting of history."
****************
"Powerful work! ... A musical may be the best medium for this topic."
****************
"Best of luck to all and look forward to seeing this on Broadway!!"
****************
"Amazing show, I learned so much."
****************
"This was a great play."
Be sure to check back here soon for updates
about the Baltimore production.
And as always, thank you for your interest, encouragement and support.
We appreciate it very, very much!
Sincerely,
Fannie Lou Musical
