Honored by Civil Rights Group
2/1/07
R&B star Usher's turn in Broadway musical Chicago has earned the
Yeah! singer the Spirit Award at the upcoming 17th Annual National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) gala.
The singer wowed theatre fans as lawyer Billy Flynn in the production
last year (06), and now he's to be feted for his contribution to the
theatre.
Writer/director George C Wolfe will also be honored at the glitzy 19
February (07) gala in Hollywood. He'll pick up the night's Lifetime
Achievement Award.
