Rate: CONTRACT Off-Broadway $1158 weekly minimum (Off-Broadway BB) About the project: Despite being the voice that built Capitol Records, Nat King Cole's groundbreaking NBC variety show faced cancellation as they could not find a sponsor. Now, on the night of his final broadcast, Nat must decide whether to quietly step out of the spotlight or, as his friend Sammy Davis Jr. urges, go out with a bang.

Watts (The Refuge Plays, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical) as Sammy Davis Jr., Lights Out features Nat's hit songs, like Nature Boy, It's a Good Day, Smile, and Unforgettable.
