CrazySexyCool – The Musical will tell the “mostly true” story of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, as they formed TLC and broke barriers as women in the music industry. Diggins is producing the musical, with Stephen Gabriel serving as executive producer.
Kwame Kwei-Armah (One Love: The Bob Marley Musical) wrote and directed the piece, while Chloe O. Davis created the powerful choreography to some of TLC’s biggest hits that will be featured in the musical, including “Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg,” “Waterfalls,” “Creep,” “Unpretty,” and “No Scrubs.”
“TLC completely changed the game,” Diggins said in a press statement. “Their music gave a voice to women everywhere, empowering them to be confident and unapologetic. But this isn’t just a story about the music; it’s about the sisterhood between these women and what kept them together through both unimaginable challenges and chart-topping success.”
T-Boz added, “Bringing this story to the stage is a dream come true. We have performed in a lot of different venues all over the world throughout our career, but bringing our story and music to the theater is a totally new and exciting challenge.”
Chilli agreed, noting, “We have some of the best people in the business working on this project. Audiences will get to hear our story – mostly fact with a sprinkle of fiction – told in our own way, and of course it’s set to all your favorite hits!”
CrazySexyCool – The Musical will host its world premiere at Arena Stage in Washington, DC, in June 2026 for eight weeks as part of the venue’s 75th anniversary season. For more information on the show, check out its official website here.
