Overview

• Kenny Leon, acclaimed Broadway director and Tony Award winner, is set to direct the sixth Broadway revival of Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning 'Our Town' in fall 2024.
• Leon, known for his work on productions such as 'Purlie Victorious', 'A Raisin in the Sun', and the Tony-winning 'Topdog/Underdog', has expressed his desire to present the classic play to a new generation of theatre lovers.
• Promising unique diversity in casting, Leon plans to make the performance reflect contemporary America and aims to create a production that 'speaks to each and every heart in America'.
• This marks Leon's third time directing 'Our Town', previously tackling the play twice in Atlanta, including a one-night reading with Scarlett Johansson and the cast of an Avengers movie for hurricane victims in Puerto Rico in 2017.
• The new staging of 'Our Town', which explores the relationship between two neighbors in Grover's Corners, represents the first major Broadway revival in over 20 years; the last Broadway production in 2002 featured actor Paul Newman.
