After a somewhat experimental reopening in June with “Springsteen on Broadway,” the Great White Way has taken a step further into the mix with the Aug. 4 debut of “Pass Over” at the August Wilson Theatre.
Barring any restrictions, the late summer and fall plays and musicals will feature no less than a dozen African American-themed productions – 10 of which are new.
“There is some great Black entertainment on Broadway,” said Irene Gandy, the legendary and influential Broadway press agent who counts among the few African-American producers.
Among those Gandy and others have expressed excitement over are “Thoughts of a Colored Man,” “For Colored Girls,” and “Skeleton Crew.” The latter stars Phylicia Rashad and was written by “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” writer Dominique Morisseau.
