“Personality: A Lloyd Price Musical”:

“Personality: The Lloyd Price Musical,” is a new production celebrating Lloyd Price's life, career, and unforgettable songs, including “Stagger Lee,” “Lawdy Miss Clawdy,” and his signature song, “Personality.”

From humble beginnings in his hometown of Kenner, Louisiana, Price overcame extraordinary odds on his way to a revolutionary music career. As a young black recording artist in the segregated Deep South of the pre-Civil Rights era, Price's success was even more remarkable.

Armed with determination and a soulful voice, Price skyrocketed to stardom in 1952 when his single “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” reached number one on the R.&B chart, making him the first teenager to sell over a million records and earn a Gold Record. Price was a crossover hit, popular with black and white kids, breaking the “race record” barrier. However, the road leads to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was a rocky one: soon after the success of his first recording, he was drafted to fight in the Korean War in 1953.

But Price, the master of reinvention, would find his footing time and time again. He became the first black person to open a nightclub under Harlem in New York City, and the first recording artist of any color to create his own record label, produce more hits such as “Stagger Lee” and “Personality”, and spread New Orleans. rThe B&B is heard around the world.

“Personality: The Lloyd Price Musical” runs now through September 3 at the Studebaker Theater in the historic Fine Arts Building. Tickets available at PersonalityMusical.com. Convenient parking is available for $13 with validation from the box office at Grant Park South Garage, steps from the theatre.
