The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess comes to Broadway in a stunning and stirring new staging, featuring such legendary songs as “Summertime,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” and “I Got Plenty Of Nothing,” plus a remarkable cast led by four-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald (Ragtime, “Private Practice”), Drama Desk nominee Norm Lewis (Les Misérables, Sondheim on Sondheim) and two-time Tony nominee David Alan Grier (Race, “In Living Color”).
Here's what some critics have already said about this vibrant new production which recently completed a sold-out world premiere engagement in Boston:
“A don’t miss theater event. Porgy is a streamlined, intimate, musically ravishing show. This Porgy is faithful to what counts most – Gershwin’s lush, bluesy, irreplaceable score. That makes it a revival to hail.”– Time
“A vibrant, stunning production! This is a ‘Porgy and Bess’ with spirit and heart. And in Audra McDonald, this production boasts a Bess for the ages."– The Boston Globe
“A watershed work. Audra McDonald transforms a classic character forever. Her scarred, shapely Bess is a heartbreaking mélange of audacity and trepidation, a performance as complete and complex as any I’ve seen years. She made me understand ‘Porgy and Bess’ in a way I hadn’t before.”– The New York Times
“Nothing less than spectacular! The characters are now genuine, emotional, and, most significantly, real.”- The Colby Echo
"A great achievement that left me breathless . . . a quiet and true lullaby of feeling."
