Domingo’s `Boy’ growing up off-Broadway

Thick Description artistic director Tony Kelly reports the good news that former San Franciscan Colman Domingo's stellar one-man show, A Boy and His Soul, will be part of the 2009-2010 season at off-Broadway's Vineyard Theatre.

Kelly will direct, as he did in the show's original Thick D run in 2005 and in its revival in the fall of last year.

The autobiographical show conjures up Domingo's childhood in Philadelphia in the 1970s complete with a fantastic soul music soundtrack and one of the most exuberant performances you're likely to find on a solo stage.

Read my review of the show from last fallhere and my interview with Domingo on the subject of Broadway fame after his Passing Strange experience and the resurrection of his Soul here.

Here is Domingo, along with his Passing Strange co-star Stew, performing the composer's "Gary's Song" from "Spongebob Squarepants" at Joe's Pub last fall.

Here's the Vineyard's official season announcement.
