Tracee Ellis Ross Debuts on Broadway in Every Brilliant Thing

Her debut brings star attention to a one-performer play that keeps its West End creative team with a U.S. tour planned next year.

Overview

  • Ross made her Broadway debut at the Hudson Theatre, which held a star-studded celebration on Thursday to mark the opening.
  • The solo production of Every Brilliant Thing runs through August 9 with Ross performing the single role each night.
  • The Broadway staging retains the West End creative team, including co-directors Jeremy Herrin and Duncan Macmillan and designers Vicki Mortimer, Jack Knowles, and Tom Gibbons.
  • The play’s format invites different audience members each night to read lines or stand in for characters, so each performance is shaped by live participation.
  • Producers have announced a national U.S. tour for next year with casting and dates to be announced, and opening-night coverage highlighted high-profile guests and Ross’s Marc Jacobs look.
