Ossie Davis's daring farce, "Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch," has been revived on Broadway for the very first time. Tony-winning actor Leslie Odom, Jr. plays Purlie Victorious Judson, a Black man determined to win back the money for his community church from Ol' Cap'n Cotchipee. Tony nominee Kara Young stars as Lutiebelle Gussie Mae Jenkins, a woman who gets caught up in Purlie's scheme. The production is directed by Tony-winner Kenny Leon, who joins us alongside Young and Odom Jr. Leslie Odom Jr., Kara Young, and Kenny Leon on Reviving 'Purlie Victorious'
