HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME, the new Broadway musical inspired by the lyrics of Tupac Shakur, is currently in rehearsal, will previews beginning on Monday, June 2 and opening night on Thursday, June 19 at the Palace Theatre (1564 Broadway at 47th Street). HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME is written by Todd Kreidler and directed by Kenny Leon. BroadwayWorld was inside rehearsal with the cast and you can catch a sneak peek of the cast in action below!

The complete cast of Holler If Ya Hear Me stars award-winning slam poet, actor, singer, musician Saul Williams (Slam), Christopher Jackson (After Midnight), Saycon Sengbloh (Motown The Musical, Fela!), Ben Thompson (Matilda), John Earl Jelks (Radio Golf - Tony nomination), Joshua Boone (Brownsville Song [b side for Tray] at Actors Theatre of Louisville), Dyllon Burnside ("Prison Break") and Tony Award winner Tonya Pinkins (Jelly's Last Jam, Caroline or Change, Play On!)

HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME, the world inside Tupac Shakur's music and lyrics, blazes to life in a non-biographical story about friendship, family, revenge, change and hope. Inner city lives struggle for peace against the daily challenges they face in this entertaining and original musical. Through the poetry of one of the 20th century's most influential and culturally prominent voices, we are given a window into realities of the streets still relevant today.
