MALVERN, PA – Dulé Hill, who has starred in the hit TV series "West Wing" and "Psych," as well as films including "Holes" and "She's All That," will be heading to the Main Line to star in the world premier of "Lights Out: Nat 'King' Cole" this fall at the People's Light in Malvern

Hill will star as Cole in the show, which was written by Colman Domingo and Patricia McGregor and is directed by McGregor.

The show runs from Oct. 11 through Dec. 3.

Check out the show's description from BroadwayWorld.com:

Lights Out: Nat "King" Cole focuses on Cole at the moment when his groundbreaking NBC variety show fails to attract a national sponsor. Cole famously declares that, "Madison Avenue is afraid of the dark." In their theatrical exploration of the soul of an American icon, Domingo and McGregor imagine Nat as he faces his final Christmastime broadcast, and weighs the advice of his friend Sammy Davis Jr. to "go out with a bang." This world premiere, replete with hits and holiday standards like"Nature Boy," "It's A Good Day," "Unforgettable," and "Joy to the World," also features appearances by Eartha Kitt and Peggy Lee

Daniel J. Watts, who had roles in "Hamilton" and "Motown the Musical," will portray Sammy Davis in this show, as well.

Tickets range from $29 to $52. To purchase tickets, contact the People's Light box office at (610) 644-3500 or visit the theater's website here.

People's Light is located at 39 Conestoga Road, Malvern.
