EXCLUSIVE: Q-Tip, the legendary rapper, producer, singer and lyricist, will be adding his hip-hop know-how to the Broadway-bound Ali, a musical about Muhammad Ali’s life in and out of the boxing ring.
The acclaimed rhymer has been signed on by Ali lead producer Richard Willis as music producer, co-lyricist and cast album producer, and will work alongside director and book writer Clint Dyer (Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical, Othello), deputy artistic director of UK’s National Theatre, and Teddy Abrams, the show’s composer.
Abrams is music director of the Louisville Orchestra, based in the city where the heavyweight champion and a titan of the 20th century was born.
Back in 2017, Abrams wrote multimedia opera-rap-oratorio mashup The Greatest: Muhammad Ali, which premiered with the Louisville Orchestra at the Kentucky Center in Louisville.
That production got Abrams, and others, thinking that there should be a full-scale Broadway musical about the pivotal historical figure who transcended his sporting achievements.
Celebrated saxophonist Casey Benjamin has also been brought into the show’s music department as associate music producer. Benjamin, who once played saxes and vocoder for the Robert Glasper Experiment quartet, has deep jazz roots; he studied piano aged 6, and soon after got his fingers moving on the saxophone. His rhythmic punch can be heard on countless recordings including numbers with Mos Def and Mary J Blige.
Sean Mayes (MJ, Hadestown) has joined Ali as music supervisor. Mayes acted as music director, orchestrator and arranger for An Evening With Andre De Shields with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and has performed musical duties for shows and orchestras in his homeland Canada.
