Before BeBe Winans shares his life in the form of the musical "Born for This: The BeBe Winans Story," at the Alliance Theatre, he will meet with fans and participate in a Q&A.

The gospel singer, who rose to fame singing with his sister CeCe more than four decades ago, will participate in the free Q&A on March 15 alongside Charles Randolph-Wright, the other half of the musical’s creative team, and musical supervisor Donald Lawrence. The event will be moderated by Alliance’s artistic director Susan V. Booth.

In addition to hearing from Winans, attendees will see a sneak peek of the musical, which will feature new songs from the singer, ahead of the opening show on April 13.

AJC's' Howard Pousner spoke with Winans about the show after it was announced in 2015 and Melissa Ruggieri recently spoke with both BeBe and CeCe Winans about the musical and their recent reunion for the BMI Trailblazers of Gospel Music Honors, which was filmed in Atlanta at the Rialto Center for the Arts.

RSVPs for the Q&A are encouraged.

If You Go: 7 p.m. March 15. Alliance Theatre, 1280 Peachtree Street, Atlanta. Cost: free. alliancetheatre.org.
