Alicia Keys's musical *Hell's Kitchen* is a mother/daughter story above all else. It's about a 17-year-old named Ali and her overprotective single mother, Jersey, loosely inspired by Keys and her own mother. Throughout the show, the headstrong Ali learns to accept her mother's tough love, and Jersey learns not to hurt others in the name of protecting Ali.

[New York Theatre Guide's critic wrote](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/hells-kitchen-broadway-review-alicia-keys), "*Hell's Kitchen* depicts mother/daughter relationships in all its love and messiness alike. (My mother, with whom I attended the show, teared up three separate times.)"

Conversations With Mother

Momma Rose is not just one of the most iconic mothers, but one of the most iconic characters, in Broadway theatre. Granted, she's not a perfect mom: She goes to extreme — sometimes obsessive and even cruel — lengths to make her two daughters famous. But the story of how all three women search for themselves, with and without each other, is one of the greatest mother-daughter tales of all time.

*Six* is one of Broadway's best "girl's night" shows — so why can't that mean you and your mom? *Six* reimagines the six wives of Henry VIII as a girl group giving a concert, where they sing about their marriages — and themes like motherhood, childhood, and sisterhood — with pop flair. It's fun, it's energetic, and it's 80 minutes long, so your mom can get home early if she wants!

Get *Purpose* tickets to see the newest play from Tony Award winner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, the playwright behind last season’s smash hit *Appropriate*. His new play is another epic thriller as a family contends with its past, present, and legacy, directed by Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad.

As with Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ other plays, *Purpose* is intellectual, stirring, and high-octane in thrills and drama. As fierce as it is hilarious, this new play provides no easy answers but instead showcases a family contending with its identity, and how its members may move forward. Audiences can expect hilarious dialogue, volcanic political debate, and plenty of surprises along the way in this New York premiere.

Celebrated for her legendary screen and stage roles, and most recently *Skeleton Crew*, Rashad skillfully directs this four-star (Chicago Sun-Times) play. A show “absolutely not to be missed,” the Chicago Tribune's critic wrote, “Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is the white-hot writer of the moment; I was knocked out.”

## What to watch for

- The production received three 2024 Equity Jeff Awards: Outstanding Production of a Play, Outstanding New Work (Branden Jacobs-Jenkins), and Outstanding Director of a Play (Phylicia Rashad).
- Director Phylicia Rashad became the first Black actress to win the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play, which she won for her role in the revival of *A Raisin in the Sun*. She won her second Tony Award for her performance in *Skeleton Crew*.
- Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is a two-time Pulitzer finalist for *Gloria* and *Everybody* and is also the recipient of a MacArthur “Genius” grant.
- Earning raves, Purpose is “a blistering production with explosive, knee-buckling intensity” per the Chicago Sun-Times.
- Steppenwolf, the theatre company that originated this work, is known for premiering other such esteemed plays, including *August: Osage County*, which won the Pulitzer Prize and was adapted into a film starring Meryl Streep.

Starting performances in February at the Hayes Theater, *Purpose* is a New York premiere tracing the storied legacy of the Jasper family. For decades, this influential family has left their mark on Black politics and culture. Its members are Civil Rights leaders, pastors, and congressmen.

When the youngest son of the family returns home to Illinois with an uninvited friend, the family is forced to reckon with its faith, politics, and legacy of Black radicalism. 

Hilarious, brilliant, and providing no easy answers, *Purpose* is a bracing new work from one of the country’s most celebrated playwrights. Rashad brings the production, with a top-notch lineup of designers, to New York City this winter.

The Hayes Theater officially opened as The Little Theatre on March 12, 1912. The building was designed by Harry Creighton Ingalls and built by Winthrop Ames, opening with John Galsworthy's play *The Pigeon*.

During the 1920s, the theatre was redesigned by Herbert J. Krapp to increase the capacity from 300 to 590. The New York Times purchased the building in 1931, converting it to a conference hall under the name of New York Times Hall.

In 1979, Martin Markinson and Donald Tick bought the theatre and renamed it in 1983 to the Helen Hayes Theatre to honor the actress. A previous theatre bearing her name was demolished in 1982 to make way for the Marriott Marquis Hotel.

On April 18, 2015, it was officially announced that Second Stage Theater had purchased the property. It was later revealed that the venue would be renamed the Hayes Theater, and it opened in spring 2018. The Hayes Theater is the smallest Broadway theatre, now with 597 seats.

To Kill a Mockingbird on Broadway [10991]

To Kill a Mockingbird on Broadway

To Kill a Mockingbird on Broadway [10991] Product Media

A regrettably sour note has hung over this new Broadway adaptation of <a href="/show/to-kill-a-mockingbird">To Kill a Mockingbird</a>&nbsp;at the <a href="/theatres/shubert-theatre">Shubert Theatre</a>, when the theatrical rights for an adaptation of Harper Lee's historic novel were assigned to it by Lee and subsequently her estate (who then challenged the version produced by playwright and television writer Aaron Sorkin that led to litigation that was settled in court).But the producer Scott Rudin in turn threatened other planned productions of a previous long-established version with litigation to stop them. These included a UK national tour based on its last London production at the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park in 2013 that had been announced months earlier, and was summarily cancelled on the eve of its opening; and American regional stock and amateur productions that were similarly affected (but offered the rights by Rudin to re-rehearse and present his new version).Of course a producer wants to both protect and maximise his own investment in a property he's acquired, but it all got very messy as the other companies had all secured the rights in the previous version in good faith, and were innocent parties to a dispute between a David-and-Goliath battle of now rival versions.Given that the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel it is based on is about ensuring justice is done, there was a certain dramatic irony in the perceived injustices that resulted (heartbroken child actors were reported to have written to Rudin when the production they'd rehearsed was cancelled).Lee's Pulitzer prize-winning story revolves around an intensely moral lawyer Atticus Finch who takes on the defence of a black man falsely accused of raping a young white woman in rural 1930s racially divided Alabama. Sorkin -- who famously scripted "The West Wing" -- is certainly good at illuminating the behind-the-scenes machinations of the legal process here, both official and unofficial, including a quiet home visit from the presiding judge and a less quiet attempt by the woman's father to attack Finch (and also to take part in an attempted lynching of his client).Sorkin and his director Bartlett Sher stage it primarily as a scorching courtroom drama, folding it seamlessly with scenes from Finch's home life as his two worlds collide.Given the rise of white nationalism in Trump's America, a lot of this feels very current. But it also makes for gripping, seriously absorbing theatre. A top-flight Broadway cast, led by the grave but sympathetic <a href="/actor-profile/jeff-daniels">Jeff Daniels</a> as Atticus Finch, also features solid support from <a href="/actor-profile/celia-keenan-bolger">Celia Keenan-Bolger</a> and Will Pullen as his children, Gideon Glick as their best friend Dill, LaTanya Richardson Jackson as housemaid and confidant Calpurnia, Gbenga Akinnagbe as the defendant Tom Robertson and Frederick Weller as the victim's father.Two live musicians, seated on either side of designer Miriam Buether's atmospherically detailed stage, play Adam Guettel's alternately folksy and ominous score, to underscore and frame the action.Now carrying an advance ticket sale of over $20million, To Kill a Mockingbird is slaying Broadway -- and looks like it could be around for a long stay, not the usual 12-16 weeks that most plays get.(Photo by&nbsp;Julieta Cervantes)

Purlie Victorious on Broadway - NYC [27642]

Purlie Victorious on Broadway - NYC Product Media

Flat-out hilarious and stacked with topflight performances led by [Leslie Odom, Jr.](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/leslie-odom-jr-theatre-roles-we-love) and Kara Young, [*Purlie Victorious*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/27642-purlie-victorious-tickets) is also a triumph when it comes to timing. Suffice it to say the play speaks directly to today’s racial tumult.

Considering Ossie Davis’s satirical melodrama premiered on Broadway in 1961, that says something about the stubbornly enduring bigotry and prejudice this broad satire has squarely in its crosshairs. Without saying the actual contemporary phrase, Davis, a writer, actor, director, and civil rights activist, declared to audiences 62 years ago in this work that Black lives matter.

Subtitled *A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch*, the play unfolds in the late 1950s. Self-made traveling minister Purlie Victorious Judson (Odom) returns to segregated small-town Georgia with a plan to buy and rehab the broken-down local church, Big Bethel, and “preach freedom in the cotton patch.” But first, he must trick Ol Cap’n Cotchipee (Jay O. Sanders) – a whip-lashing Jim Crow tyrant who believes in “all that is white and holy” – into handing over $500 that was bequeathed to Purlie’s family. 

Key to Purlie’s plan is his besotted follower from Alabama, Lutiebelle Gussie Mae Jenkins (Young). She pretends to be his Cousin Bee, who’s in line for the inheritance. Reluctantly drawn into the ruse is Purlie’s brother, Gitlow (Billy Eugene Jones), whose adherence to the old plantation ways leads Cotchipee to cheer him as a “solid, hard-earned Uncle Tom.” Purlie’s sister-in-law Missy (an ace Heather Alicia Simms), who shares the dream of breathing life back into Big Bethel, lends her own source of support. 

Lutiebelle is game for anything to help, but she’s unprepared to pull off the high-stakes impersonation, so the Bee sting eventually – and riotously – goes pear-shaped at the plantation.

But Purlie persists. He finds an ally in Cotchipee’s liberal-minded son Charlie (Noah Robbins), who supports court decisions to void segregation. After his mother died in childbirth, Charlie was raised by Idella (Vanessa Bell Calloway), and he believes in the rights of African Americans. That comes in handy.

Zipping along in a fleet-footed 100 streaming minutes, the staging by Kenny Leon (*Topdog/Underdog, Ohio State Murders*) boasts terrific work across the board. Before the show begins, a rack of clothes on the otherwise bare stage is visible. In a rush, the actors slip into costumes by Emilio Sosa, as if to announce they’ll be playing parts. 

Derek McLane’s deceptively rustic-looking set nimbly moves the action from the Judson home to Cap’n Cotchipee’s place and back and, finally, undergoes a holy-mackerel, amen-worthy transformation. 

Odom, a Tony winner for [*Hamilton*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/384-hamilton-tickets), is a blast to watch – and hear – as he dives deep to deliver what Davis is preaching. Following back-to-back Tony-nominated performances in the dramas *Cost of Living* and *Clyde’s*, Young shows off delightful comic chops and proves again that she makes every project burn brighter.

In a play filled with barbed grenades, one standout seems so simple, but it’s so complex. “Life is so good to us – sometimes,” says Lutiebelle. “Oh, child,” says Missy, “being colored can be a lotta fun when ain’t nobody looking.” Sixty-two years later, the line still zings and, sadly, stings.

Martyna Majok’s [*Cost of Living*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/25892-cost-of-living-tickets) follows shifting relationships between two disabled adults and their caregivers. The play arrives on Broadway four years after being awarded a Pulitzer Prize, an honor that is both a badge (bragging rights to an exclusive club) and baggage (escalated expectations). That’s the cost of winning.

Over 110 unbroken minutes this lean, perceptive, and beautifully acted drama explores several provocative themes including connection and isolation as well as privilege and class. The main focus is people in need — and not just the two individuals who use wheelchairs, but the able-bodied attendants as well. All four face challenges and hurdles of every stripe. That’s the point — that’s the cost of living.

The action unspools over nine scenes, and Wilson Chin’s spare, revolving set provides a smooth and seamless showcase in this Manhattan Theatre Club production. The play starts in a bar a week before Christmas. “That’s gonna be hard,” Eddie (David Zayas), an out-of-work long-haul truck driver, tells an unseen character in a lengthy — a bit too windy, actually — monologue. Holiday cheer isn’t in Eddie’s wheelhouse. He’s alone, suffering, untethered. 

The plot rewinds to September and the sleek New Jersey apartment where John (Gregg Mozgala), a Princeton grad student, lives. He’s got a Harvard degree and wealth. He wraps himself up in the comfort they afford just like he does in his plush cashmere sweaters. John has cerebral palsy and requires help for daily hygiene tasks. 

Jess (Kara Young), meets with John to apply to be his caretaker. She’s working-class with a sick immigrant mother and a Princeton degree that’s led nowhere careerwise for her. She slings drinks in bars. John says her job would be “to wash me. My hair. Teeth… You’d keep me handsome.” She gets the gig. She’s desperate for money for reasons that emerge.

The story transitions to the rundown home of Ani (Katy Sullivan), Eddie’s estranged wife. A catastrophic accident shattered her spinal cord and left her a quadriplegic above-the-knee amputee. She’s bitter, and rightly so, with a salty tongue and no time for self-pity. Despite having a girlfriend, Eddie insists on caring for Ani. He’s motivated by financial and emotional reasons. 

As the months move forward, each pair grows closer. In back-to-back scenes, Jess washes John as he strips, and she helps him into his shower. It’s an intimate arrangement, but it plays out with a sense of equal mutual respect — or so it seems. At Ani’s place, Eddie bathes his ex. He talks about playing the piano as a kid. “Twenty-almost-one years,” she says. “You never told me that.” In a moment of acute tenderness that reveals Majok’s sensitive and creative mind, Eddie plays Ani’s arm like a keyboard. Moments later, things take a harrowing turn that jolts them — and the audience — back to reality.

It’s easy to root for these couples — not necessarily in a romantic sense but simply in terms of human connection. Guided by director Jo Bonney, the actors don’t strike a false note — even when the script gets spotty. Although the fate of Eddie and Ani’s relationship is all too believable, that’s less the case for John and Jess. While John’s lack of generosity is obvious, Jess getting sucker-punched by misreading her boss undercuts her character’s keen intelligence. 

How the couples’ story strands finally twine together requires a leap of faith. In the end, convenient plot turns can’t undo the play’s bracing originality. Majok wisely doesn’t sugarcoat realities in sentimentality, but she also leaves the door ajar for an optimistic glimmer. That feels right. After all, what’s the cost of hope?

Food for thought is on the menu, along with lots of laughs and a few tears in Lynn Nottage's <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/clydes" target="_blank">Clyde's</a>, a richly entertaining and timely play set in a truck stop sandwich shop along a nowhere stretch of Berks County, Pennsylvania. It's roughly the same GPS of the author's Sweat, which focused on grim aftershocks of a factory lockout and won a Pulitzer Prize in 2017. Eight years earlier, she won the same award for Ruined, about women in the Congo scarred by war.Clyde's, commissioned by the Guthrie Theater where it premiered in 2019, is a lighter slice of life than those weightier works, but it still has the power to stay with you. The program&nbsp;for the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/hayes-theater" target="_blank">Second Stage Theater</a> production describes the roadside restaurant as a liminal space — in other words, an in-between locale. It's a fitting place for folks to seek second chances. It also provides wiggle room, perhaps, to merge reality with metaphor.&nbsp;It's where four ex-cons struggle to put their criminal pasts behind them as they work together as line cooks in the sandwich dive. One wrong move can land them back in the joint. World-battered single mom Letitia (Kara Young) did time because she robbed a pharmacy to help her special-needs daughter. Sweet-natured Rafael (Reza Salazar) held up a bank armed with a BB gun. Jason (Edmund Donovan, deeply affecting), a loner with a face covered in racist tattoos inked in prison, unleashed his violence and fury&nbsp;on a man with a baseball bat. His story summons a pivotal moment from Sweat.&nbsp;Montrellous (a quietly magnetic <a href="/actor-profile/ron-cephas-jones">Ron Cephas Jones</a>), who&nbsp;reveals he went to prison as an act of brotherly love, is the foursome's senior member. He's a kitchen philosopher who urges co-workers to step outside limitations and to devise the perfect sandwich. You can't turn back time. You can't undo a crime. You can aspire and escape drudgery through creativity. As characters share visions of dream eats —&nbsp;a tuna melt with chopped lemongrass on toasted black rye; a Cubano sandwich with jalapeno aioli and sweet onions; a grilled halloumi masterpiece —&nbsp;your mouth may water.&nbsp;Clyde (<a href="/actor-profile/uzo-aduba">Uzo Aduba</a>), the abusive and exploitative boss at the namesake joint, typically turns up her nose. "You're all losers, felons," she says. "Don't disappoint me by having aspirations... I'll make sure you go back to whatever hell you came from." One could argue that the script lays things on too thick at times — and this is one of them. On the other hand, Clyde may be intentionally drawn to be larger and more satanic than life and be a stand-in for society as a whole.&nbsp;Directed by Kate Whoriskey, the author's go-to collaborator, the production cooks on all burners. Orange Is the New Black Emmy winner Aduba slyly brings out Clyde's devilish streak. Young is thrilling as the take-no-b.s. Tish. The physical production is also deft thanks to Jennifer Moeller's character-defining costumes, Takeshi Kata's realistic working kitchen, and Christopher Akerlind's moody, shifting lighting.&nbsp;A final rebellious communal act of creativity turns out to be liberating for the kitchen crew. You can take the ending literally or poetically —&nbsp;either way it works, and it satisfies. Chalk that up to Nottage's theatrical 'wichcraft.&nbsp;<div><a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/clydes" target="_blank">Clyde's is at the Hayes Theater to January 16.
