About the Show

A cabaret-style show led by four Black women who share their experiences of tackling misogynoir.

Nouveau Riche's "Queens of Sheba" is inspired by an incident in which a group of women were turned away from a nightclub for being "too black". The women share their uplifting stories about confronting racism and sexism in a production which uniquely incorporates music, poetry and a cappella singing.
