If you follow us on twitter then you know we’ve become major fans of Broadway Legacy, a digital catalogue that celebrates African American theatre. When the first set of visuals were released we were in overjoyed at the class and simplistic regalness of it all. This project is led by Broadway Black renaissance man Christian Dante White (The Book of Mormon, Scottsboro Boys) and the photographer responsible for such stunning images is Brent Dundore.
