A musical inspired by the life and music of 2Pac Shakur called “Holler If Ya Hear Me” will open on June 19 at the Palace Theatre in New York. The production, written by Todd Kreidler and directed by Kenny Leon, will use songs like “Holler If Ya Hear Me,” “Me Against the World,” “Keep Ya Head Up” and more as their soundtrack as it tells of an “unconditional love story” with an “anti-violence” message. Preview showings of the production can be seen as early as May 26. –Keith Reid-Cleveland
