MJ to Present Post-Show Talkback for Black History Month With Scottie Beam
The talkback will be titled, “Joy Through Legacy,” following how Black artists build something that outlives them — and how we carry it forward.
MJ on Broadway will celebrate Black History Month with a special post-show talkback following the performance on Friday, February 27, moderated by Bronx-born podcast and radio host Scottie Beam.
Directed and choreographed by two-time Tony Award winner Christopher Wheeldon, with a book written by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ is the winner of four 2022 Tony Awards, including Best Choreography (Wheeldon).
