"Mama I Want to Sing" has all star cast featuring Ciara, Lynn Whitfield, Patti LaBelle, Juanita Bynum, Hill Harper, Ben Vereen, Billy Zane, Kim Porter, Ralph Tresvant, Ross Francis, and Shonda Farr.

Here's what to expect from "Mama I Want To Sing": ...Tells the story of a preacher's daughter, who rises from the church choir to international pop superstardom. The character is loosely based on Vy Higginsen's sister, Doris Troy, best known for the 1963 pop hit "Just One Look." Higginsen and her husband Ken Wydro wrote, produced, directed, financed, and marketed the play, which was originally rejected by every major producer in New York. None believed that the story was worth telling or that an audience could be found for a gospel based production. [credit: blackfilm.com]
