We Were Funky Live!

AMC Performance Company and producer Rod Whittaker present the spectacular, funktastic live stage musical revue, We Were Funky Live!, a musical celebration of the Funk, R&B, and Disco music of the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. We Were Funky Live! is the musical stage adaptation of the soon to be released We Were Funky documentary. Featuring the choreography of Heather Hayes, daughter of the late legendary soul singer Isaac Hayes, and the music of some of the greatest artists that ever lived, We Were Funky Live! gives you the fashion, the fire, and the phenomenal music that has been the soundtrack of our lives.

The setting is Atlanta, GA in the fictitious Omni Theater, named after the now defunct Omni Coliseum, a venue where many star studded events were held in the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s. As the cast of We Were Funky Live! churns through chart toppers by such artists as Earth, Wind, And Fire, Donna Summer, Stevie Wonder, and while various scenes play out on the giant 8ft. LED screen, their pesky stagehand is desperately trying to give the audience a peek at his hidden talents, but the cast refuses to let him in the show. Stagehand played by Harry Nixon, the first mascot for the NBA Atlanta Hawks, who incidentally used his name to create the Harry The Hawk mascot.

Join the We Were Funky Live! cast for a night of unabashed fun and getting all the way DOWN.
