How ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Star Kandi Burruss Is Helping Make ‘A New Broadway’ as a Producer


Burruss, a former mainstay of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," works to make "a new Broadway" as a producer of shows including "Othello."

A former mainstay of “ The Real Housewives of Atlanta ” and a longtime member of the R&B girl group Xscape, Burruss is currently a producer on the new Broadway revival of “Othello” starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal. “’Thoughts of a Colored Man’ closed before I wanted it to — I cried,” Burruss admitted on the new episode of “Stagecraft,” Variety’s theater podcast. But the experience didn’t deter her, and she went on to produce the starry, strong-selling revival of “The Piano Lesson” (starring Samuel L. Jackson and John David Washington) and “The Wiz.”
