The Voices of Donny Hathaway

DONNY POSTER .JPG
April 22 & 23

On January 13th, 1979, the world lost Donny Hathaway, one of its greatest musicians and singers. In Robert King Jr.'s new thought-provoking musical, he introduces us to a side of Donny Hathaway we've never seen before. Donny's battle with the voices that haunted and tormented him were caused by paranoid schizophrenia.

​

The musical suggests that the night prior to Donny's jump off of the 15th story of the Essex House Hotel he had a conversation at the bar with a fictional character by the name of Pamela Robinson. Pamela asks Donny what songs he would perform if he knew that he had one last time to perform. Conjuring up a band we are taken into Donny's hallucination of that final concert.

​

After a successful run in Atlanta, Austinite Robert King Jr brings his musical back home to Austin!
