The cast will include Cedric Neal as ‘Lloyd Price'.
Following a critically acclaimed run at Studebaker Theatre in Chicago in 2023, producer B. Jeffrey Madoff will present a closed showcase of Personality – The Lloyd Price Musical this October in London.
Â
From humble beginnings in Louisiana, Lloyd Price overcame incredible obstacles on his way to a revolutionary career. His songs shattered the racial divide in music and helped lay the foundation for rock 'n roll. He was the first teenager to sell over a million records and earn a Gold Record, and the first musical artist to start his own label. Price's tunes were recorded by Elvis, Aretha, Little Richard, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Amy Winehouse and more. Lloyd Price was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and this new musical celebrates his life and legacy.
