Selma the Musical: The Untold Stories recently made a triumphant return to the stage, captivating audiences once again with its powerful storytelling and incredible performances. Following a nearly sold-out performance at the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre (MPAC), the show received overwhelming praise from both patrons and partners at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
Lead actress Melissa Davidson delivered a stellar performance, drawing audiences into the heart of the story with her captivating portrayal. The writing by JP Haynes struck a chord with viewers, offering a poignant exploration of the untold stories surrounding the historic events in Selma.
The musical’s standout songs, including “We Made It,” “Dear Black Man,” “King is Coming,” and “Selma’s Anthem,” resonated deeply with the audience, eliciting laughter, tears, and cheers throughout the night. The talent behind the scenes, including Costume Designer Chamise-Renée, Assistant Costume Designer Toliglhia “Tiggy” Archer, Musical Director Patrick Preston, and Choreographer Ty Walker, brought the production to life with their creative vision and attention to detail.
Since February’s performance, Selma embarked on a tour to St. Louis, performing a truncated version at Southern Illinois University, where it once again received a standing ovation and glowing reviews. The Dean exclaimed, “This was astonishing!”
The impact of Selma extended beyond the stage, leaving a lasting impression on attendees, colleagues, students, and family members alike. Lauren Blanding, Manager of the Civil Rights Memorial Center at SPLC, noted the show’s authenticity and emotional depth, which continued to resonate long after the curtains closed.
