Freestyle Love Supreme founding member and Tony nominee Christopher Jackson will join the national tour of the show as a special guest for select performances at The Kennedy Center in D.C.. The Hamilton actor will appear at evening performances May 10-14 and matinees on May 14 and 15.
Conceived by Anthony Veneziale, the show is created by Veneziale and In The Heights and Hamilton collaborators Thomas Kail and Lin-Manuel Miranda. The show is described as a blend of hip-hop, improv theatre, and singing, with no two performances being the same.
Freestyle Love Supreme concluded its second Broadway run January 2 at the Booth Theatre. It is also a recipient of a 2020 Special Tony Award and was featured in the Hulu documentary We Are Freestyle Love Supreme. The show is currently embarking on a national tour, set to hit 11 cities.
