"An Extravaganza In Every Sense Of The Word." -- The Hollywood Reporter

An entertainer's life told in memorable songs and dances by a cavalcade of stars.

In this upbeat tale of music and romance, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson relives his show business career through performances by the hottest black musical stars of the period. Legendary for his "staircase tap" with Shirley Temple, Robinson's story is told by the biggest names, with the songs that made them into million-sellers, and the dancers who took your breath away. It's also the love story of Bill's lifelong passion for a beautiful singer, played by Lena Horne, and how they touched each other's lives. Jam-packed with more than 20 musical numbers, Stormy Weather also features Fats Weller, Ada Brown, Cab Calloway, the Katherine Dunham Dance Troupe, and the Nicholas Brothers.
