Agrippa performs in Capital Playhouse Production of "Smokey Joe's Cafe". Olympia, Wa
"This is a parade of songs by the great '50s and '60s songwriting team of Jerry Lieber and Mike Stroller. The Broadway production of "Smokey Joe's Cafe" was nominated for seven Tony Awards and the cast album won the 1995 Grammy for Best Musical Show album. I have the Broadway cast album, and I think this local company could give the Broadway cast some fierce competition".
"Agrippa Williams almost gets lost as a member of the chorus in Act I, but his pulsing bass and exaggerated comic expressions are delightful, and he gets to shine in Act II
