Holli’ Gabrielle Conway, Jade Milan and Stoney B. Woods are set to portray Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, respectively, in CrazySexyCool — The TLC Musical. As noted in an earlier Billboard story, the show — produced by special arrangement with Bill Diggins — will debut this summer at Arena Stage’s Kreeger Theater in Washington, D.C. It will run from June 12 through Aug. 9. The musical’s debut will precede the upcoming It’s Iconic Tour, co-headlined by TLC and Salt-N-Pepa with special guest En Vogue. The tour launches Aug. 15 in Franklin, Tenn.
Based on music recorded and performed by the four-time Grammy Award-winning group — featuring signature songs such as Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits “No Scrubs,” “Creep,” Waterfalls” and “Unpretty” — CrazySexyCool is written and directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah. His credits include One Love: The Bob Marley Musical. Additional members of the production’s creative team include choreographer Chloe O. Davis (Gypsy), Tony Award-nominated music supervisor David Holcenberg (MJ the Musical) and music director Jaret Landon (Smokey Joe’s Café).
“CrazySexyCool is as bold, fearless and unapologetic as TLC themselves,” said Arena Stage artistic director Hana S. Sharif in the press release. “It holds space for the music we love and the reality that lies behind it, making room for both the joy of their success and the complexity of everything that came with it.”
