A BADASSSSS MUSICAL Almost forty years ago, Melvin Van Peebles released Sweet Sweetback's Badasssss Song, a film that became required viewing for the Black Panthers and set the template for blaxploitation. Tonight Van Peebles presents a work-in-progress musical theater version of the flick -- complete with a well endowed, smooth-talking hero and with Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber filling the role of Earth Wind and Fire as soundtrack suppliers.
