Jubilee started its season at Bass Hall and wraps things up at the grand venue with a musical that’s a time capsule of music — gospel, pop, R&B, disco — culture and the cutthroat entertainment industry of the time. The Broadway hit features local talent and design to give it a little Texas flair, including the collaborative direction of Jubilee’s D. Wambui Richardson and Steven A. Taylor. Aug. 11-14
