ONEMAN
SHOW

Eric Gutman,
of Broadway’s
Jersey Boys (and
grandson of
the late Cantor
David Gutman
of the former
Congregation
Lynne Konstantin Beit Kodesh in
Arts & Life Editor
Livonia), tells his
story of finding
fame — then
giving it up to return home to his
native Detroit — in From Broadway
to Obscurity. The one-man musical
journey, which intimately details the
rocky road to “making it,” is told through
well-known songs, dead-on celebrity
impressions, and a hilarious and heart-
warming narrative. Through Feb. 20,
the show is presented by Detroit Public
Theatre at the Robert A. and Maggie
Allesee Rehearsal Hall inside the Max
M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center,
Detroit. $35-$45. (313) 567-5111;

Graham

AFRICAN AMERICAN,
JEWISH AND MORE

It is a coincidence that on the Martin
Luther King Jr. holiday I noticed that I
had a number of trending pop culture
items about Jews who are also African
American. Let’s start with the movies:
Opening on Friday, Jan. 29, is Fifty Shades
of Black, a parody of Fifty Shades of Gray,
the bestselling novel and box-office
hit movie. I’ve seen the trailers and this
movie is less porn-like than the original.
It’s played for broad laughs (with a black

humor spin) and I did laugh at many
of the gags in the previews. Basic plot:
Marlon Wayans plays Christian Black, a
very rich guy who wants to be the “domi-
nant” in his sexual relations. He meets
Hannah (Kali Hawk, 29) and tries to
get her to be his “submissive girlfriend.”
Hannah is no waif and Black’s attempts
to dominate her don’t quite work out.
Hawk, who identifies as Jewish and
even speaks some Yiddish, is the daugh-
ter of an American Jewish mother and
(non-Jewish) black father. Back in 2011,
she teamed up with actress/singer
Kat Graham, 26, to do a funny short
movie called Black and Jewish, a parody
of a famous rap song video. (Title on
YouTube: “Black and Jewish — Yellow
and Black Parody.”) Graham, who is the
daughter of an American-Jewish mother
and a black Liberian father, was in the
news this past week. Variety reported
that she would play Jada Pinkett Smith
in All Eyez on Me, a movie about the life
of late rapper Tupac Shakur. Graham
has a big role — Smith and Shakur were
friends in high school and stayed close
until he died in 1996. Graham was raised
Jewish and went to Hebrew school. You
may know her as Bonnie Bennett on The
Vampire Diaries.
