Joe Turner’s Come And Gone at Ethel Barrymore Theatre

Joe Turner's Come And Gone is a story that hits differently. It's one that sparks thoughts - even the ones you've been shifting out of mind; elicits imagination - even if it's something you're new to;b triggers certain emotions - even the ones carefully hidden beneath the skin; and brings great satisfaction - whether joyful or poignant.

And if this story is brought to life by a cast of award-winning actors with talent that defies all expectations, boundaries and limits, it becomes a hair-raising, exceptional experience. Golden Globe winner Taraji P. Henson makes her Broadway debut alongside Cedric the Entertainer, Tony nominee Joshua Boone, and Tony winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson in this limited engagement revival of August Wilson's powerful Pittsburgh Cycle play, directed by Debbie Allen.

This is what is on the cards for North America this summer with Joe Turner's Come And Gone's latest tour, and way, way more.

Beyond the absolutely astonishing story that will echo in your mind long after the curtain has fallen and the impeccable artistry and hair-raising performances of the award-winning cast, lies the magic of life theatre delivered in a setting where familiarity, chemistry and energy are on the forefront, bare-boned and raw. Set in a 1911 Pittsburgh boarding house during the Great Migration, this 5-time Tony Award-nominated production runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes including a 15-minute intermission.

Now imagine all of this, topped by well-developed characters and terrific characterization, lighting, sound, costumes and choreography that merge superbly and runs like a well-oiled machine, immaculate execution and tempo, some of the most incredible moments you've ever experienced in live theatre, and all the fine intricacies masterfully crafted and curated by a world-renowned, award-winning creative team, creating a perfect mixture of stagecraft and theatrical magic - an unmatched encounter - and you have exactly what you are needing and way, way more!

It becomes personal at the blink of an eye, it stirs in ways you never thought possible, and you'll chew on it for a long time to come.
