The play is a humorous look at a serious subject, racism, and it's back on Broadway for the first time in 62 years.
There is joy inside the Music Box Theatre, where Odom and Kara Young lead the cast in the revival of"Purlie Victorious." He's the self-proclaimed minister, philosopher, and freedom fighter with a questionable plan to claim an inheritance to buy a church in segregated Georgia.
In this revival, Young, a two-time Tony nominee and Harlem native, plays"Lutiebelle" a young woman who has spent her life working in the kitchen until she meets"Purlie." "Unlike his father's, he has a real sense of decency about him and a real kind of moral clarity about the racist environment that he lives in," Robbins said of his character."Idella is feisty. She's that woman that everybody needed because she ran their house. She kept it going. She was the glue," Calloway said.
