Choir Boy

Broadway
Play with Music
Original
Following a hit Off-Broadway run at MTC's Studio Stage II, Choir Boy comes to Broadway. Playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney, the Oscar-winning screenwriter for Moonlight and a recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship Grant, makes is Broadway debut with this production helmed by Trip Cullman (Murder Ballad).

SYNOPSIS:

From the Academy Award-winning writer of Moonlight, comes this exhilarating story about Pharus, a young, gay student leading the gospel choir at his elite, all-boys prep school. Can a rigid institution that prides itself on producing “strong, ethical black men” contain Pharus, who is a quiet rebel at his core? Or can Pharus inspire the very nature of the school to shift forever? Identity and community clash in this Tony-nominated hit. Filled with rousing music and soul-stirring dance, this play rejoices in all that it means to march to your own drum.
