James Seabright presents
BLACK IS THE COLOR OF MY VOICE
Starring Apphia Campbell
Inspired by the life of Nina Simone, and featuring many of her most iconic songs performed live.
Apphia Campbell’s acclaimed play follows a successful singer and civil rights activist as she seeks redemption after the untimely death of her father. She reflects on the journey that took her from a young piano prodigy destined for a life in the service of the church, to a renowned jazz vocalist at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement.
The show has toured the UK to standing ovations and played sell-out seasons in Shanghai, New York, Edinburgh and the West End of London. Following its award-winning Australian debut at Adelaide Fringe in 2023 and a celebrated return to Australia in 2024 (Best Theatre Award, Adelaide Fringe 2024), the show comes back to Sydney in 2027 for a strictly limited season.
