Encores! next season is very much Broadway and Black!

NYC Theatre is coming back much more colorful this year! New York City Center has announced their official comeback season for 2022 and boy oh boy, is it black! 

First up, we start with The Tap Dance Kid running from February 2-6, 2022. Starring Dulé Hill, the Tony-nominated show tells the story of an upper-middle-class black family and a 10-year old’s dream of becoming a professional dancer despite his family’s fears as well as society. The production will be directed by Tony award-winning Broadway Black Legend Kenny Leon along with a new concert adaptation from acclaimed playwright Lydia R. Diamond. 

In March we move over to The Life, which tells the story of the complex lives in the post-disco era Of New York City! One of our faves, Billy Porter, will be adapting and directing the piece featuring performances from Chuck Cooper, Mykal Kilgore, Ledisi, and Ken Robinson! The piece will also be choreographed by our booked and busy Camille A Brown. The show runs from March 16th to the 20th.

Finishing out the season will be the iconic musical, Into The Woods. The Stephen Sondheim classic most are none other than our forever Leading Lady Heather Headley as the Witch, as well as performances from Sara Bareilles, Christian Borle, and Ashley Park! They may not be Broadway Black, but we stan them regardless. The show will run May 4-15, 2022. 

With casts and teams this big, we can only imagine how lit these shows are going to be. Make sure you get your tickets HERE and see these amazing shows as the city continues to open back up in the new year!
