BAME ON BROADWAY

WICKED CASTS THE FIRST BLACK GLINDA ON BROADWAY

Broadway actor, Brittney Johnson, took on the role in the fifth longest running musical, Wicked.

This piece discussed the right direction broadway is heading in in terms of inclusivity as the main lead is played by a black actor, alongside broadways lack of diversity on stage, as well as looking at the future.

I interviewed Hannah Shury-Smith, theatre writer for The British Blacklist, Executive Director of Black Acting Methods Studio, Sharell D. Luckett and Kate Chapman, broadway actor.
