★★★★ Review: Choir Boy – Nancy Medina’s revival of her staging of Tarell Alvin McCraney’s play about school, song and the shaping of young Black lives has lost none of its power and empathy. Read The Stage's review 👇

First look rehearsal images have been released for Choir Boy ahead of its opening at Stratford East

Casting Confirmed for Acclaimed Choir Boy Production Casting has been announced for Nancy Medina’s acclaimed production of Choir Boy by Academy Award-winner Tarell Alvin McCraney (Moonlight, The Brother/ Sister Plays), running from 26 March – 25 April at Stratford East (Press Night is 31 March).…

Saw Choir Boy at Stratford East Theatre, and was very impressed by the cast and story. Iis written by Tarell Alvin McCraney, the co-author of the award winning film Moonlight. I’d definitely recommend it.

Review: Choir Boy at Stratford East “McCraney strikes the perfect chord, blending human drama with deeper themes and good humour.”

Prep school over in the United States takes on a different meaning to prep schools in Blighty – the American definition is a school largely designed to prepare its students (always ‘students’, never ‘pupils’) for ‘college’, that https://www.londontheatre1.com/reviews/choir-boy-stratford-east-review/

‘A recurrent theme is that Pharus is expected to bow his head in shame while in the co of others. But when he lifts his head & takes pride in himself & his difference, both he & Choir Boy soar’ ★★★★ Choir Boy at @stratfordeast.com @greatscott.bsky.social musicaltheatrereview.com/choir-boy-st...

Yesterday I finally got to see Moises Kaufman’s production of Here there are blueberries. The play dramatizes the story how in 2007, Rebecca Erbelding came across the Höcker album, eventually donated to the USHMM. I am deeply impressed. A thread.
