Rhoma Spencer to debut musical play on Calypso Rose in Canada
It is a musical that has been put off too long, for one reason or the other.
But on June 17, veteran theatre practitioner Rhoma Spencer will finally get to show what she’s been working on since 2019—the workshop production Queen of the Road: The Calypso Rose Musical.
The event, presented by the Queer and Trans Research Lab at the Mark S Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies, University of Toronto, in Partnership with Tobago Performing Arts Company and the Canadian Caribbean Arts Network, is scheduled for the Hart House Theatre, Hart House Circle, Toronto.
“This musical was to happen in 1996, the year after I did Bassman—The Mighty Shadow Musical in Tobago and Trinidad,” Spencer told Kitcharee.
