Hip Hop unplugged

Posted on July 25, 2011

Boy Blue Entertainment dance BBE: Touch at the Pit, Barbican Centre in London this week.

This is an intimate, unplugged look at Boy Blue, best known for the award-winning hip hop Pied Piper. Artistic directors Michael “Mikey J” Asante and Kenrick “H20” Sandy go back to their dancing routes, with special guests joining them on stage each night. The Pit will be transformed into a cabaret with fully licensed bar, and audience can stay and chat with the artists after the show. Due to popular demand, an extra performance has been added on Saturday.
