Theatre Asylum (Hollywood, CA)
The life of Hattie McDaniel, the first African American to win an Oscar, is one of the most intriguing — and important — chapters in all of Hollywood history. Few people have told that story better than Vickilyn Reynolds (Bring In da Noise, Bring In da Funk) in her one-woman musical play, Hattie…What I Need You to Know!. Armed with a gorgeous voice, boundless charm and a remarkable likeness to the late actress, Reynolds plays McDaniel at each stage of her incredible journey: from her start in a family of performers in Denver, to her years on the minstrelsy circuit, and finally her ascent to the heights of Hollywood stardom. At every step, Hattie…What I Need You to Know! captures the trailblazer’s genius with heart and soul. You’ll be sure to agree with The New York Times which gushed, “McDaniel has found an almost ideal interpreter.”
