The multi-talented star is following Jay-Z and Will Smith into the world of Broadway producers.
Keys, whose hits include “Fallin”, “A Woman’s Worth, and starred in the hit movie ‘The Secret Lives of Bees’, will help produce Lydia R. Diamond’s play “Stick Fly” this fall.
The work is a contemporary comedy, revolving around a wealthy black family whose insecurities gradually reveal themselves during a vacation to Martha’s Vineyard.
I’m passionate about this play because it is so beautifully written and portrays black America in a way that we don’t often get to see in entertainment,” Keys said in a statement. “I know it will touch all audiences who will find a piece of themselves somewhere inside this house.
The piece has already been performed in Boston, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
It’s set to begin performances at the Lyceum Theatre on November 18th and officially opens December 8th.
The director, Kenny Leon noted for his work in “A Raisin in the Sun” and “Radio Golf”, earned 10 Tony Award nominations with the Broadway production of “Fences”.
In 2009, Jay-Z, Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith joined the producing team of the musical “Fela!,” the show about Afrobeat superstar Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

Don’t let the money make you!! *line from ‘The Player’s Club’*
