When Hell Freezes Over, I'll Skate

Vinnette Carroll, Emile Ardolino

Jeffrey Anderson-Gunter, Brenda Braxton

This lively, spirit-lifting musical celebrates the sheer joy -- and survival -- of black music, song and poetry since the days of America's Civil War. With utter grace and ease, the gifted eight-member singing ensemble glides from gospel to disco and from slave-quarter sermons to contemporary black poetry.
