“This season, a revival debuted on Broadway, helmed by the diminutive dreadlocked dynamo that is Camille A. Brown. Relying on only projections and screens for set pieces, she focused on the cast of seven Black women. The first Black woman to both choreograph and direct a Broadway show in more than 65 years, Brown made subtle changes, switching out Martha and the Vandellas for ‘I’m So Into You’ by SWV. She added Shange’s poem ‘Ego’ from nappy edges. Like Oh God, for colored girls transmits rejuvenation.”
