Join BAM Talent for an evening of high stakes, sharp suits, and quick wits! BAM TALENT is proud to present our shadowcast for Spring 2026: HARLEM NIGHTS! This ONE-DAY-ONLY special engagement (featuring an 11-person cast of West Michigan community members) will be taking place Thursday, February 19th, 7:30pm, at Wealthy Theatre, 1130 Wealthy St. SE.ABOUT THE FILM & SHADOWCAST
Step into the velvet-lined world of 1930s New York, where the jazz is hot, the stakes are high, and the players are the smoothest in the business. Harlem Nights is a cinematic landmark that brings together an assembly of Black entertainment royalty for a high-stakes masterclass in grit and glamour.
At the heart of the action are "Sugar" Ray (Richard Pryor) and his sharp-witted protégé, Quick (Eddie Murphy).Together, they run Club Sugar Ray, a pinnacle of underground sophistication. But when a corrupt police force and a ruthless crime syndicate attempt to muscle in on their empire, the duo must rely on their
sharpest instincts and a loyal inner circle—including the formidable Vera (Della Reese) and the sharp-tongued Bennie (Redd Foxx) — to orchestrate the ultimate sting.
Featuring powerhouse turns by Jasmine Guy, Arsenio Hall, Thomas Mikal Ford and Danny Aiello, Harlem Nights is a polished, high-octane comedic celebration of character and charisma.
For this shadowcast rendition, members of the West Michigan Community will appear as characters from the film,
interacting with the audience, moving through the space, and accenting some of the most exhilarating moments, adding a
little extra campiness to the experience. It will feel like watching the movie for the first time!
Shadowcast features: Noah
King-Bates, Jazz McKinney, Ciezonn Preston, Darius Colquitt, PhenChare Phoenix, Khief E., Jahmon Prince & DL McKinney,
with Special Appearance by Forest McKinney.
