Caroline, or Change (2004 Original Production)
Choose options
The original 2004 Broadway premiere of Jeanine Tesori and Tony Kushner’s revolutionary masterwork 'Caroline, or Change' completely reconfigured the parameters of the musical stage, opening at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre after an explosive run at the Public Theater. Blending blues, spirituals, and classical motifs, the fluid plot turns a basement washing machine, dryer, and radio into singing, fantastical characters that document the systemic weights of race, poverty, and capitalism in America. Directed with breathtaking clarity by George C. Wolfe, the historic original production achieved immortality through the unmatched performances of Tonya Pinkins and Anika Noni Rose in her Tony-winning turn.
