This will be a transfer of the hit 2014 London production, which had new staging by Laurence Connor (Les Miz, School of Rock) and revised book and lyrics by Michael Mahler. Previews begin March 1, 2017, and the opening is set for March 23 at the Broadway Theatre—the same playhouse where the original Broadway production opened in 1991. The theatre is currently occupied by Fiddler on the Roof, which is scheduled to close December 31, 2016.
The hit musical continues at the Lena Horne Theatre.
Written by Melda Beaty, the work has already played Westcoast Black Theatre
Troupe, North Carolina Black Repertory Theatre, and more.
The modern-day take on Sisyphus of Greek mythology will also star Marisa Tomei.
Sammy Zeisel will direct Joshua Owen's new play.
After starring in the hit revival on Broadway, the actor is now leading the North American tour.
Jack Serio is directing the production at the East Village Basement, a new downtown venue.
Following development in Glasgow, Scotland, the production is headed to Baltimore's France-Merrick Performing Arts Center.
Samira Wiley will play Esther, an exquisite sewist of lingerie who dreams of opening her own beauty salon and falling in love in 1905 New York.
The Tony winner will dance with audience members and interact with them in his newest musical. Bobby Darin would be proud.
