Tracee Ellis Ross to Make Broadway Debut in Every Brilliant Thing

Tracee Ellis Ross will make her Broadway debut in Every Brilliant Thing at the Hudson Theatre July 7 – August 9.

Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe’s solo show about a person who keeps a list of thousands of joyful things currently stars Daniel Radcliffe through May 24. Mariska Hargitay will will take over from May 26-June 28.

Ross starred in the hit ABC sitcom Black-ish, earning a Golden Globe Award and five NAACP Image Awards. She previously starred in Girlfriends.

Every Brilliant Thing calls on its one actor to directly engage with the audience, moving through the aisles before the show to ask us to read lines and briefly conscripting viewers as co-stars. TheaterMania’s critic described it as ” a mixture of TED Talk, improv, and interactivity.”

After officially opening on March 12, the producers of Every Brilliant Thing announced on May 6 that the show had recouped its entire initial investment of $5.75 million.

Jeremy Herrin and Macmillan direct the production, which features scenic and costume designer Vicki Mortimer, lighting designer Jack Knowles, and sound designer Tom Gibbons.
