Kim Kardashian Joins Broadway’s The Fear of 13 as Co-Producer

Her debut extends her criminal-justice advocacy through a play about a wrongful conviction.

Overview

  • Kim Kardashian joined the producing team Monday, marking her Broadway producing debut linked to her justice reform work.
  • The production opens Wednesday after previews that began March 19 at the James Earl Jones Theatre in New York.
  • Adrien Brody plays Nick Yarris opposite Tessa Thompson as a prison volunteer, with both stars making their Broadway debuts under Tony winner David Cromer.
  • The play, adapted by Lindsey Ferrentino from David Sington’s documentary, dramatizes Yarris’s decades on death row before exoneration.
  • The Broadway run partners with the Innocence Project, and early New York reviews note strong performances while faulting the script’s heavy narration and low dramatic tension.
