From the direst slums of Philadelphia to the heights of fame in film, music, and on Broadway, from bitterness toward virtually everyone to the love of all mankind she demonstrated in the Billy Graham crusades, Ethel Waters’ life was an incredible journey. In His Eye Is On The Sparrow, Waters is brought to life by Danielle Lee Greaves – of Broadway’s Rent, Hairspray and Show Boat, The Lion King tour, and the “Whoopi” TV show - as she tells the tale of all that she had to overcome and all that she was able to become, and as she performs the music that brought her fame, from “Stormy Weather” to the title song. |
