Utilizing percussion, tap dance, blues and jazz, Bring in da Noise, Bring in da Funk explores black history in America from arrival on the slave ships to the Northern migration to the advent of hip hop. Glover and Wolfe developed the show, incorporating music by Daryl Water, Zane Mark and Ann Duquesnay and Glover's own innovative choreography.

Glover won the 1996 Tony Award for his work on Bring in 'da Noise. Since then he's gone on to star in Spike Lee's "Bamboozled" and to perform a second show in theatres, Footnotes.
