MIGHTY REAL: A FABULOUS SYLVESTER MUSICAL is the Critically Acclaimed Musical Hit that celebrates the life of the Original 1970's Disco Queen SYLVESTER. Broadway Star Anthony Wayne (Broadway’s “PIPPIN” [2013], “PRISCILLA”, “Anything Goes” [2011]) sings, lives and breathes life as the 1970’s Disco Singer SYLVESTER. The show, also, features Broadway’s Anastacia McCleskey (“PRISCILLA”; “HAIR”, “Book Of Mormon”) and Jacqueline B. Arnold (“We Will Rock You”, “PRISCILLA”) as Two Tons of Fun/The Weather Girls. Additional Cast includes DeAnne Stewart and Rahmel McDade.With songs like "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", "Can't Stop Dancing" and "You Are My Friend", this show tells the life story of Sylvester through HIS music and HIS point of view. Beyond all the trials, tribulations, glitz and glamour of his lifestyle, he was a symbol for being FABULOUS, but, also, a symbol for unapologetically being who he was.
The New York Times raves it's "A Mighty Real Time" and BroadwayWorld boasts it's "FIERCE! What the biographical jukebox musical should be".
