Despite being the voice that built Capitol Records, Nat "King" Cole's groundbreaking NBC variety show faced cancellation due to the inability to find a sponsor. 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." Tony and Academy Award nominee Colman Domingo (Rustin) and NYTW Usual Suspect and Artistic Director Patricia McGregor (The Refuge Plays) bring us this electrifying exploration of the soul of an American icon who fought to break through America’s color barrier in early television. Starring Emmy Award nominee Dulé Hill (The West Wing, Psych) as Nat "King" Cole and Tony nominee Daniel J. Watts (The Refuge Plays, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical) as Sammy Davis Jr., Lights Out features Nat’s hit songs, including "Nature Boy," "It’s a Good Day," "Smile," and "Unforgettable."
