About the Show
Martin Luther King Jr knew he would marry Coretta Scott from their very first meeting. Over the course of their marriage, alongside their brothers and sisters within the movement, they fought for the rights of African American people in a divided United States. King tells the story of their life together, and the strides successes and sacrifices of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement that saw them change the course of history.
This year marks 50 years since the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr and 30 years since the first performance of the late Martin Smith’s acclaimed musical King.
