"Broadway means something to me. It's the standard of our industry," Leslie Odom, Jr. told Richard Ridge upon his official return to the stage. "Mr. [Ossie] Davis means something to me... and Rudy Dee. This is a combination of so many things that are dear to me- this play, Kenny Leon, this company of artists, Nicolette [Robinson] alongside me producing, this community... these ten blocks! It's a bright spot and high point in my life."
Just last week, the Tony & Grammy Award winner and Academy & Emmy Award nominee officially returned to Broadway in Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch, now running at the Music Box Theatre. Purlie Victorious is the rousing, laugh-filled comedy by Ossie Davis that tells the story of a Black preacher’s machinations to reclaim his inheritance and win back his church.
