Black Nativity Tickets
Black Nativity Musical Tickets
Get into the holiday spirit when you purchase Black Nativity tickets to see this authentic musical live. The play debuted as an Off-Broadway production in 1961 and is renowned for being one of the first plays written by an African American for an all-black cast. After its premiere, the musical received widespread critical acclaim and toured throughout Europe just one year later. The premise of the story follows the classic biblical retelling of the birth of baby Jesus and is embellished by gospel-style Christmas carols.
Now, the musical is performed throughout the nation annually, including at famous locations like the Boston Opera House. Anyone looking for something fun to do to fill the holiday vacation time with should grab Black Nativity tickets while they last. Top songs from the musical include, “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” “Sweet Little Jesus Boy,” and “Christ is Born.”
What makes the songs even more unique is that the main gospel style is highlighted with elements of jazz and blues. The play is not only a holiday hit but it’s made its way into mainstream media. The retelling has spawned the creation of the documentary, Black Nativity – In Concert: A Gospel Celebration (2004). A feature-length film was also released under the same name as the musical in 2013. Similar to the play, the film ended up receiving widespread acclaim and earned an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture.
