Slippin’ Through the Cracks: The Blues Journey of Bobby Rush 

By Stephen Helper and Bobby Rush 

October 20 – November 1, 2026 

World Premiere  

Triple Grammy-winner Bobby Rush has a foot-stomping, uplifting, funky blues story that he wants to tell. From the juke joints of the South to the Grammy stage, Bobby Rush’s life is a story of perseverance, artistry, and soul. This electrifying world premiere musical developed by New Stage Theatre blends live music with storytelling to trace a remarkable journey through American history and the blues.  Slippin’ Through the Cracks encapsulates the message Bobby Rush has for us today: “If a dirt-poor country boy, with no education, no opportunities, faced with great troubles, can make it through life doing what he loves, so can you.”
