Previews began on March 28, and it officially opens on April 23. It stars Storm Lever as Duckling Donna, Ariana DeBose (A Bronx Tale) as Disco Donna, and LaChanze (The Color Purple) as Diva Donna.
The musical tells the story of Donna Summer through three stages of her life with three different performers, from growing up in Boston to the legendary artist she became.
