Eubie!
Overview: Eubie! began life as a Broadway musical, celebrating the life and work of legendary black entertainer/composer Eubie Blake.

The race issue is brought into play every once in a while, but never in such an omnipresent fashion as to dampen the spirits of this sparkling example of Broadway at its best.
