The Pulitzer Prize-winning play finally arrives on stage in Philadelphia, in a celebratory new production, following its limited Broadway run! James Ijames’s riff on Shakespeare’s Hamlet is set at a BBQ in the South, and centers Juicy, who is Black, queer, and soft – and learning to love himself. “A hilarious yet profound tragedy smothered in comedy,” raves The New York Times.
NOMINATED FOR FIVE TONY AWARDS, INCLUDING BEST PLAY!
Single Digital Tickets for each production will be available for sale toward the end of the in-person run.)
