The Marvin Gaye story comes to State Theatre in Cleveland in Zeola Gaye's "My Brother Marvin," March 2 Written by Kathy Wednesday, 20 March 2013 19:10 - Last Updated Wednesday, 20 March 2013 21:19 CLEVELAND, Ohio- His legacy has been marred with misconceptions of the life he truly lived and the family he dearly loved. He constantly walked a tightrope between being who the world expected him to be and who he felt God called him to be. He secretly suffered in silence from the scars that women in his life had inflicted on him and longed for the true love they never supplied. He also inwardly battled to stay true to who he was as a person, safeguard his place in musical history and not succumb to an industry and music label that fought to turn him and his world upside down. He was Marvin Pentz Gaye and now a theatrical drama that focuses on the man behind the music reemerges on stages across the country--My Brother Marvin. Brother Marvin is a gripping, riveting and dramatic account of the life of the man who transformed and revolutionized the landscape of soul music—Marvin Gaye. Everything his label and lovers didn't want you to know, stories swept under the rug about him and his family and secrets once thought to be buried with him and his mother surface and are now revealed in My Brother Marvin. It delves into the story that framed the life and engineered the tragic death of iconic soul legend Marvin Gaye. The play specifically focuses on Marvin’s relationship with his mother, father and siblings. The story is inspired by and told from the vantage point of Marvin’s sister Zeola “Sweetsie” Gaye. My Brother Marvin achieves what other offerings have previously failed to do—give the uncut, unadulterated, untainted truth about Marvin Gaye. The show also features original music inspired by Marvin Gaye and the musical era he influenced. 1/3 The Marvin Gaye story comes to State Theatre in Cleveland in Zeola Gaye's "My Brother Marvin," March 21 Written by Kathy Wednesday, 20 March 2013 19:10 - Last Updated Wednesday, 20 March 2013 21:19 “Through the years, I became taken aback and disappointed with everything that had been written, said and published about my family, especially my brother Marvin that wasn’t accurate,” said Zeola Gaye. “In the play, I simply wanted to set the record straight. I wanted to leave a true account about Marvin the man and our family. People need to know what really happened and Marvin would want his fans to really know what happened. We are finally bringing the truth the world needs and must know .” Lynn Whitfield 2/3 The Marvin Gaye story comes to State Theatre in Cleveland in Zeola Gaye's "My Brother Marvin," March 2 Written by Kathy Wednesday, 20 March 2013 19:10 - Last Updated Wednesday, 20 March 2013 21:19 Clifton Powell THE STAGE PLAY WHO WHITFIELD PLAYS AND GAYE'S ACTORS IS FATHER DIRECTED KEITH AND WASHINGTON, BY COMEDIAN AND FEATURES EMMY TONY GRANT WINNING ACTOR AND CLIFTON ACTRESS POWELL LYNN acclaimed Marvin Brother playwright—Angela most acclaimed Gaye's Marvin actor father is writer, Clifton written the Barrow-Dunlap. in stage director, the Powell and show play adapted (Next producer and was Undoubtedly, Friday, is conceived for being the in Ray, the stage produced urban by Dead Barrow-Dunlap by Zeola heralded theatre Presidents) by Gaye.
