Taraji P. Henson And Cedric “The Entertainer” To Star On Broadway In ‘Joe Turner’s Come and Gone’ Revival

Directed by Debbie Allen, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone will open at a Shubert theater to-be-announced.

Taraji P. Henson and Cedric “The Entertainer” will star in a new production of August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone on Broadway next spring, producer Brian Anthony Moreland announced today. The second play in Wilson’s American Century Cycle, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, set in 1911, takes place in a Pittsburgh boarding house run by the steady Seth and the open-hearted Bertha Holly – a refuge for Black travelers navigating the upheaval of the Great Migration. She made her Broadway directorial debut in 2008 with Cat on a Hot Tin Roof starring Terrence Howard, James Earl Jones, and Phylicia Rashad.
