Leslie Odom Jr. stars in Broadway revival of Ossie Davis' anti-racist farce 'Purlie Victorious'

The play, receiving its first Broadway revival, tackles racism through zany, vivacious humor.
'Purlie Victorious' features Leslie Odom Jr. as Purlie and Kara Young as Lutiebelle.
Odom Jr. and Young deliver standout performances in the production directed by Kenny Leon.
Written in the "recent past," the play addresses the persistence of racism in modern America.
The revival opened on Broadway on September 28, 2023 to positive reviews.
