Happy 2024 Everyone!

Lets start the New Year with the great view wallacebway0219 had of #PurlieVictorious, and a reminder that you only have until February 4th to catch Leslie Odom, Jr. as the title character, before the production leaves #Broadway.

Suffs will replace it; starting previews at the #MusicBoxTheatre on March 26th.

With the kids still in Delaware, and my wife working, Daddy hit up TKTS and hooked up Purlie Victorious on Broadway. And it was awesome! Ossie Davis wrote a hilarious, deep work. Kara Young had me vaudeville laughing harder than I have in a while as "Lutiebelle Gussie Mae Jenkins". Leslie Odom Jr.'s preaching monologue about dignity is riveting (and also hilarious).

New York City theater!

"The play premiered on Broadway in 1961 at the Cort Theatre (now the James Earl Jones Theatre), directed by Howard Da Silva, and starred Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Alan Alda, Godfrey Cambridge, Sorrell Booke and Beah Richards. The play was later adapted into the musical 'Purlie,' which premiered on Broadway in 1970."
