Cast members suggest the show could be part of a larger trend toward greater diversity on Broadway.
Lee Daniels, known for "Empire," is bringing Ain't No Mo' to Broadway after a successful run downtown at The Public Theater in 2019. Sandy Kenyon has the story."Ain't No Mo" combines several different genres. It's a biting satire about life in America after the presidency of Barak Obama that gets big laughs but also provokes much thought.
Last week he gathered his cast together for the opening and entertainment reporter Sandy Kenyon was there at the Belasco Theatre. Cast member Ebony Marshall-Oliver explained it is based on a simple premise: "What would happen if the U.S. government gave every Black person in America a one-way ticket back to Africa."
At the performance Kenyon attended, Jacquet sat in his lap before taking the stage for the first time.
