A Raisin In the Sun, Now through June 21 at Ethel Barrymore Theatre, New York, N.Y.
Denzel Washington. On stage. Live. This Tony and Oscar-winning actor started his acting career on stage and would like to do more stage nowadays.

Can you imagine still listening to the captivating voice of Billie Holiday in a smokey Philadelphia speak-easy? Well, this musical play starring Audra McDonald seeks to recreate that intimate experience. The show will even have some seats on the stage to give the show that small, nightclub feel.
This show will run for a limited time so indeed this is another hot ticket.
Happiest Song, now through March 31 at Second Stage Theatre, New York, N.Y.
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Quiara Alegria Hudes continues to write the stories of Philadelphia’s Latino community, including this play inspired by a beloved community member whose bizarre and tragic death grabbed headlines.
