OutKast duo
André "Andre 3000" Benjamin and
Antwan Andre "Big Boi" Patton star as two Prohibition-era performers determined to fend off the vicious gangsters currently attempting to gain a stake in the pair's lucrative club in this
musical drama directed by longtime collaborator
Bryan Barber and featuring choreography by three-time Tony award winner
Hinton Battle. In the 1930s, Idlewild was the hottest speakeasy in the South thanks to the impressive showmanship of flamboyant manager/lead performer
Rooster (
Patton) and the notable talents of introverted pianist
Percival (
Benjamin). Everything changes, however, when a powerful gangster and his ruthless henchmen move in on the scene with every intention of landing a healthy portion of the club's considerable profits.
