Renowned poet and performance artist Saul Williams will star in the upcoming Broadway production of Holler If Ya Hear Me - the musical based upon the recorded works of the late rapper Tupac Shakur.

Williams will star alongside Christopher Jackson, John Earl Jelks, Joshua Boone, Dyllon Burnside and Tonya Pinkins in the play presented by author Todd Kreidler, director Kenny Leon and Tupac's mother Afeni Shakur. The show's creative team also includes choreographer Wayne Cilento and musical supervisor Daryl Waters.
