A quartet of stage alums returned to Broadway as Christopher Demos-Brown's American Son celebrated its official opening at the Booth Theatre November 4. The Kenny Leon-directed production began performances last month.

Leading the cast are Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Kerry Washington and Steven Pasquale; they are joined by Tony nominee Jeremy Jordan and Eugene Lee.

The play, which premiered at Barrington Stage Company in 2016, is set in a Miami police station in the middle of the night as a separated, interracial couple reunites and grapples with the disappearance of their teenage son.

The new production feature sets by Derek McLane, costumes by Dede Ayite, lighting design by Peter Kaczorowski, and sound design by Peter Fitzgerald.
