“The hippest trip in America” is finally making a stop on Broadway in a brand-new musical based on “Soul Train,” the iconic television program. Experience the moment when entrepreneur and radio DJ Don Cornelius first transformed the pop culture landscape with his hit show, creating the soundtrack of generations for nearly 40 years alongside the talented dancers who became superstars in their own right.

Written by two-time Tony Award®-nominated playwright and MacArthur Genius Dominique Morisseau, choreographed by three-time Tony Award nominee Camille A. Brown, and directed by Apollo Theater’s executive director Kamilah Forbes, HIPPEST TRIP: THE SOUL TRAIN MUSICAL is a vibrant, exhilarating musical event that’ll have you singing in your seat and dancing in the aisles. You’ll no longer have to wait until Saturday morning for an energizing dose of “love, peace, and soul!”

“My family turned on
‘Soul Train’ every week
expecting nothing less than
a house party... we got that
and a whole lot more!” - Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, Executive Producer and author of Soul Train: The Music, Dance, and Style of a Generation
