Ossie Davis’ play Purlie Victorious premiered on Broadway as a drama in 1961 when the vestiges of America’s Jim Crow caste system were still alive and well in the South. Even with 60-plus years of distance, it’s hard to believe how resonant the play is today with the hilarious Broadway revival that premiered last week at the Music Box Theatre. Leslie Odom Jr. stars in the title role as a smooth-talking Georgia preacher trying to get a $500 inheritance left by his Aunt Henrietta from Ol’ Cap’n (Jay O. Sanders). Purlie comes up with a crackpot scheme to hire Lutiebelle Gussie Mae Jenkins (Kara Y...

The cast of Hamlet posed for a group picture on their opening night for one of New York’s most beloved traditions, Free Shakespeare In the Park, at the Delacorte Theatre. Kenny Leon’s production of Hamlet gives a modern take on the classic Shakespeare play of family and betrayal and stars Ato Blankson-Wood, as the titular character.

The new musical Shucked is that rare thing on Broadway these days – neither a revival of a 50s musical or inspired by the life of a pop star.

When the crops suddenly stop producing, Maizy (Caroline Innerbichler) decides to venture to the big city – Tampa, no less! – in search of a cure. There, she meets con man Gordy (John Behlmann), who returns with her in search of th...
