WE FREE! Tonight, Antoinette Chinonye Nwandu’s powerful new play Pass Over makes history as the first Broadway show to have its official OPENING NIGHT in 17 months since the Great Bright Way was abruptly shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This show has been receiving so much buzz and rave reviews these last few weeks throughout its entire run of previews. It’s been selling out and getting non-stop standing ovations night after night.
PASS OVER was initially set to open on September 12th, 2021. However, due to that unforgettable response, the opening night was pushed up a few weeks early.
The production will be running for a strictly limited engagement at Broadway’s August Wilson Theatre now through October 10th, 2021.
Happy Opening PASS OVER!
Welcome Back Broadway!!!
Break a leg to the full cast, crew, and creative team.
