"Purlie Victorious" Revival on Broadway | THEATER: All the Moving Parts

In this new episode of “THEATER: All the Moving Parts", the cast of “Purlie Victorious” and theater experts discuss the hilarious and clever machinations of its titular hero in the new and acclaimed Broadway revival of Ossie Davis’s 1961 comedy, which confronts segregation and racism. Host Patrick Pacheco is first joined by cast members Kara Young, Jay O. Sanders, and Heather Alicia Simms about their juicy roles in this radical revolutionary story. Then critic Brittani Samuel and CUNY Professor Hillary Miller place this sly and subversive comedy within the context of Broadway history and Civil Rights activism.
