What a great cast...

Jacques C. Smith, Paulette Ivory, E. Faye Butler and Loretta Devine will star in the Broadway-bound revival of Purlie at the Pasadena Playhouse. The show, directed by Sheldon Epps, is scheduled to begin performances at the California venue on June 24.

I have seen E. Faye Butler in Mamma Mia! and Paulette Ivory in Aida. Great performers!

Wish I could see Loretta Devine. She's great.

I have serious doubts that it will make it to Broadway. It has very limited appeal.
