Todd Haimes Theatre (Broadway)
229 W. 42nd St. New York, NY
The first show of the new Broadway season is the first-ever revival of a modern American classic. And as Time Out New York hails, “Welcome back, Home. You’ve been missed!”
This powerfully uplifting adventure by the late Samm-Art Williams and staged by Kenny Leon (“Broadway’s most essential director,” says The Chicago Tribune), is “beautiful, moving, and very funny (The Daily Beast).
Three actors “deliver astronomical performances” (Amsterdam News), portraying over 40 characters and capturing Broadway’s heart and soul, as they take you on a 90-minute journey with a North Carolina farmer who travels to the city and back, holding true to his faith, his spirit, and his long-lost love. “Home’s return is nothing short of a cause for celebration,” says the New York Sun.
"Welcome Back, HOME. You've been missed." -Time Out New York
“A lovely and richly poetic play. Home is emblematic of what so many of us seek from time at the theater” Chicago Tribune
“A top-notch production that serves as a fitting and heartfelt tribute to the author.” - Deadline

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Home
HOME: IS WHERE THE ART IS, AT ROUNDABOUT
6 / 10
The single flaw to Roundabout’s nice revival is some questionable pacing by Kenny Leon, the director, whose recent Broadway staging of Purlie Victorious was marred by its headlong speed. Here, the lyrical opening passages of Home intended to evoke the long ago rural South are nearly lost in the breakneck speed they are spoken. Other poetic sections tend to rush by, too, suggesting that Leon doesn’t trust the audience to appreciate their beauty. Leon otherwise gives his well-acted production sufficient atmosphere. A longtime collaborator with Leon, the great Allen Lee Hughes expertly designs sunlight and moonlight and passages of time. Simple, painterly settings designed by Arnulfo Maldonado always keep a patch of those homeland fields in view even when Cephus strays far away. Perhaps just as crucial to the production’s impact is how the designer uses simple fabric borders to reduce the expansive size of the proscenium frame of the Todd Haimes Theatre so the actors can commune more closely with the audience.
Home Broadway Review
5 / 10
Samm-Art Williams was born in Burgaw, North Carolina seventy-eight years ago, and died in that same small rural town last month; he liked to tell people he was “just a country boy.” Actually, though, in between his birth and his death, Williams lived large in the big city – an actor in Hollywood movies, executive producer of the hit TV series “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” and a playwright who was best-known for “Home,” which was nominated for a Tony Award as Best Play after it transferred from The Negro Ensemble Company to Broadway in 1980. “Home,” a story about a son of the South who not-so-briefly loses his way, is opening tonight on Broadway in a revival directed by Kenny Leon; Williams died four days before its first preview.
