You know Hinton Battle from his breakout performance in Broadway's original presentation of "The Wiz".  He co-starred with folks like Mabel King and Stephanie Mills.  Hinton's next major Broadway project was "Sophisticated Ladies" with Gregory Hines and Phyllis Hyman.  It was also his first Tony Award win.  He went on to The Tap Dance Kid with great talents like television stars Dule Hill and Alfonso Ribeiro.  Not to mention dance king, Savion Glover.  This, of course, was another Tony Award winning role.  Hinton was also in many other shows and starred on Broadway in Dreamgirls and also the hit movie version, too!  His third Tony Award win was for Miss Saigon.  This show was of particular importance as it was not a 'dancing' role.

Hinton Battle is known as a a triple threat in the entertainment world.  He just released his first CD in the US.  It's called, "Hinton Battle Something New".  He's taken many of the great classic jazz songs and kind of freshens them up for today's audiences.  Staying true to the original recording.

Hinton Battle is also starring in a special for just one night in "Cindy".  It's based on his 1978 television special.  The one performance will be in Decatur, Georgia on
September 10th, 2014.  If you're in the area, check him out.
