Following a critically acclaimed run in New York, Jeannette Bayardelle (Broadway’s The Color Purple, Girl from the North Country) brings her extraordinary new musical SHIDA to the Vaults for a limited run.
SHIDA tells the true story of Shida Brown, an African-American girl growing up in New York. Tracing the ups and downs of her life, her dreams and heartbreaks, the story is told through the eyes of the characters who love her most, including her mum, best friend Jackie and teacher Ms Smalls.
Set to a contagious score of rock, jazz, R&B and gospel music played live by an onstage band, SHIDA is a daring and funny, sad and joyous story performed with heart and soul in a Tour-de-Force performance by Jeannette Bayardelle.
