•Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope was a musical written by Miki Grant and directed by Vinnette Carroll. This production not only included Gospel music, it
also included jazz, funk, soul, calypso and soft rock.
•In this musical which is the second production I have found to have Alex Bradford playing an important part contributing his talents as a feature character/actor/singer along with his wife Alberta Bradford. She played a role as singer and actress in the Broadway production. Alberta Bradford was not only a singer; she was a musician and songwriter who not only played for her husband Alex Bradford and his group; she also played for other singing aggregations such as Chesapeake Choral Union, the National Convention of Gospel Choirs & Choruses and several other groups.
•The play itself focused on the African-American experience with songs reflecting various topics about ghetto life, student protests, Black power and feminism.
•This show was the Directorial debut of Vinnnette Carroll who was the first black woman to direct a play on Broadway. The play was written by Micki Grant; singer, actress, writer and composer. Micki was a featured actress in one of the earlier soap operas “Another World.
