Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad is set to make her Broadway directorial debut with the Broadway premiere of Charles Randolph-Wright's beloved 2000 play Blue (with music by Nona Hendryx).
Performances are expected to begin in spring 2020.
With fierce wit and astonishing honesty, Blue explores the complexities of identity and trust behind the carefully constructed façade of the Clarks, a socially prominent family that is struggling with the legacy and pitfalls of their own good fortune. Infused with a searing jazz and soul score, Blue celebrates the love and spirit of a family coming to terms with itself.
Phylicia Rashad, a 2004 Tony Award winner for A Raisin in the Sun and a 2016 inductee into the Theater Hall of Fame, is set to make her Broadway directorial debut as she helms the Broadway premiere of Charles Randolph-Wright's beloved 2000 play Blue. Ms. Rashad commented: “I am happy to be directing this play that brought me so much joy. It affirms the importance of theater and its power to touch the human heart.”
