Rapper and actor Common makes his Broadway debut in the play “Between Riverside and Crazy,” a New York story played out by an inclusive cast.
Rapper and actor Common has made his Broadway debut in the play “Between Riverside and Crazy” and what he sees from the stage is something he never imagined: a multi-cultural audience hanging on to every word.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Stephen Adly Guirgis stars Stephen McKinley Henderson, who plays a former New York City police officer whose 30-year career ended after being shot by a white rookie cop. Common plays his ex-con son struggling to do right by his father. Henderson’s character is dealing with a myriad of issues, including the threat of losing his coveted rent-controlled apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, his dwindling chances at a discrimination lawsuit against the city and the various occupants of his home.
“This is a really, truly wonderful Broadway season and it reflects all of Broadway and it reflects all of America with respect to New York City. And because New York City reflects America and the world,” Henderson said.
