Groundbreaking choreopoem ‘for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf’ makes a powerful return to Broadway

DC Metro Theater Arts: Last seen in NYC in 2019, in the Off-Broadway revival of poet/playwright Ntozake Shange’s groundbreaking genre-defying “choreopoem” at The Public Theater (where it was first presented in 1976, and was honored with a 1977 Obie Award for Distinguished Production), for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf has returned to the Booth Theatre four decades after its pioneering Broadway premiere there – the second play ever by a Black woman to reach the Broadway stage – for a limited engagement through mid-August.
