A TLC MUSICAL MAY BE COMING TO BROADWAY: The ladies of TLC are ready to bring their story to the Broadway stage.

We didn’t tell it all in our biopic we did with VH1. A lot of good stuff. It’s gonna be very emotional but a good ride.” As previously reported, TLC is set to hit the road in July for a 21-city trek alongside Nelly and Flo Rida.

Their voices stay with you long after the song is over, and on this track they sang so profoundly that all we had to do was focus on the story we were telling. I really believe in today’s world that we have redefined what love and relationships look like, so I think that this song is one that many people can relate to,” said Steve.
