{"value"=>"<p><span class=\"title\">Echo Park: The Hip Hop Musical</span> premiered on June 1, 2000, at the Apollo Theater. The show, written by Sean Couch and Kelly Scott of Lifted Productions, in conjunction with the National Black Theater and Julia Da Borges Cultural Center, chronicled hip-hop's evolution. The musical was broken down into three parts with the first section covering the years 1978-1981, in which the DJ played the key role in hip-hop. The second and third sections highlight the MC and hip-hop's crossover into mainstream American culture. Legendary hip-hop artists such as Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Caz, and DJ Hollywood joined the show's cast as narrators.</p>"}
