Tupac in a Broadway musical! Well kind of ...
According to Rolling Stone, the late great rapper's songs are set to be featured in an upcoming Broadway musical titled Holler If Ya Hear Me.
The musical is based on two childhood friends in a fictional Midwestern industrial city setting who are in conflict with struggle, trying to make their dreams a reality.
Director Kenny Leon whose credits tie to Raisin In The Sun and Fences told Broadway.com:
"Tupac was a prophet and I want everyone to see that. [Holler if Ya Hear Me] is a present-day musical using all of Tupac's music, but Tupac is not a character in the musical."
To make it all the more interesting, Tupac's mother Afeni Shakur will be in production of the play which is currently in the works set to premeire this 2013-14 Broadway season.
