Playbill: The 2021–22 season was a banner year for Broadway. It came as theatres were reopening after the 16-month pandemic shut-down. And after the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, which called for greater awareness of systemic racism and more diversity within all areas of American life, the theatre industry responded by having 12 out of the 33 shows that Broadway season written by a BIPOC writer. That was the year where a musical by a Black writer with an all-Black cast won the Tony Award for Best Musical: A Strange Loop.
