Thurgood

^{New in 2008}
Laurence Fishburne comes to Broadway in a one-man-show about the Supreme Court Justice mentioned in the title.
Closes 8/17/2008

The Broadway production of Thurgood closed August 17, 2008. For current Broadway show listings and tickets, please click here.

If you're looking for a sophisticated evening with a recognizable face, this might be an interesting pick. Movie star Laurence Fishburne impersonates legendary Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall for an easygoing 90 minutes. Don't expect the histrionics of high drama or a big musical number, but by most critical accounts, this one-man-show narrating a great American life is a rather pleasant and entertaining evening.

Interestingly, James Earl Jones played the role in 2006 for the premiere production at Westport Country Playhouse.

May be inappropriate for 10 and under. (Contains a small amount of strong language.)
