- Doors close at curtain-up: latecomers can't get in and seats are unreserved, so arrive early for a good view
About
Lennox knows his dad is ill, but nobody will tell him what's wrong. When his dad leaves for the hospital without his lucky necklace, Lennox and his best friend go after him. RIGHTABOUTNOW INC. and Dutch National Opera turn Zindzi Zevenbergen's award-winning book into a hip-hop opera, with a live band mixing jazz, gospel, Afro and hip-hop. It suits kids ready for a story with real stakes.
