THREE MO’ TENORS is the brainchild of Marion J. Caffey, a highly acclaimed veteran Broadway performer, writer and director. While watching the 1994 PBS Television special The Three Tenors – Live at Dodger Stadium, Caffey’s Eureka moment occurred when Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo and José Carreras ventured into musical territory outside their forte — the operatic / classical genre. They took that musical leap with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
What Caffey knew and suspected many others did not know, was that there are African-American classically trained tenors that actually sing many other styles of music while maintaining the integrity of each style. The seed for THREE MO’ TENORS was planted. Caffey’s vision was to introduce the world to as many of these versatile artists as possible, three at a time.
