Tonya Pinkins Remembers “Jelly’s Last Jam,” The Show That Won Her Her First Tony

THEATRE Posted: February 27, 2015 1:32 am

“Jelly’s Last Jam was the first musical written and directed by an African American that was not simply a toe-tapping entertainment with happy, singing people of color. … [It] was akin to a Brancusi sculpture of 50 years in the life of an arrogant, racist, braggadocio genius.”
