Why see Recorded in Hollywood: The Musical?
Brand new MUSICAL!
Recorded In Hollywood: The Musical is the true and fascinating story of legendary Los Angeles music producer John Dolphin. A well-respected and successful black businessman, record label owner, and music producer well before Motown ever existed.
In 1948 he opened his World Famous Dolphin's Of Hollywood Record Shop on legendary Central Avenue in South Los Angeles, the music Mecca on the west coast, but his contributions to music and the formative years of Rock'n'Roll have often been overlooked. Based on the book Recorded In Hollywood: The John Dolphin Story, the new musical features 13 original songs to match the musical era of the 1950s, as well as some hit cover songs associated with the story.
