Russell Simmons Def Poetry Jam

Where the smash hit HBO series Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry leaves off, this production takes over. This uplifting evening of contemporary entertainment brings nine performance poets with a new American voice together on stage. The result is an exuberant, insightful and comedic look at who we are and where we are today.

Featuring the “best of the best” from the smash Broadway production, the cast includes many of the performers who electrified New York and became the surprise sensation of the season. Russell Simmons Def Poetry Jam is conceived and presented by Russell Simmons and Stan Lathan and directed by Mr. Lathan.
