enjoyed a life online during the pandemic, courtesy of Philadelphia-based Wilma Theater, of which Ijames is one of three artistic directors. It then went on to a live run at off-Broadway’s Public Theater, a production that the cast and director Saheem Ali now reprise on Broadway.The play mirrors “Hamlet” in delightfully unabashed ways, making Juicy, its Hamlet-like star — played with sublime comic confidence by Marcel Spears — into a gender-fluid hero.
“Fat Ham” is offered in association with Roundabout Theatre Company, whose longtime artistic director, Todd Haimes, died on Wednesday, at 66. I’d known Haimes for more than a quarter century as a true man of the theater, highly competitive but also generous to the community of artists and fellow producers, and who built a veritable nonprofit empire of Broadway and off-Broadway venues.
