A musical based on the life of music legend Ray Charles will open on Broadway this fall, producers announced Thursday. The show, titled Unchain My Heart, will premiere in New York City Nov. 7, with previews beginning Oct. 8. Stuart Benjamin, producer of the 2004 biopic Ray, worked with Charles for 15 years and will produce the show.
An earlier version of the musical called Ray Charles Live was produced at California’s Pasadena Playhouse in 2007.
