Description
In New York, the off-Broadway show "Little Girl Blue" is bringing queen of the blues Nina Simone back to life. Throughout the two-hour performance, Laiona Michelle -- who also wrote the show -- brings her warm vocals to classic songs like "Feeling Good," while also laying bare the suffering Simone endured throughout her life and mental health struggles. "When I was growing up, Nina Simone was buried in history," Michelle says. "She was constantly told to sit down and shut up … It was my mission to bring all that noise to the front."
