I Dream (musical)

I Dream is a musical by Douglas Tappin, who serves as the librettist, composer and lyricist. The production narrates the life of Martin Luther King Jr., culminating in the events surrounding Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. Premiering in Atlanta in 2010, I Dream skillfully blends musical theatre and rhythm and blues to highlight the pivotal moments of the Civil Rights Movement, as well as Dr. King's personal struggles. Over time, the production transformed into semi-staged opera performances across various cities, but it has now returned to its original musical format.
