Maya Angelou’s Life Story Is Headed To Broadway

A one-woman show based on the life of the iconic late author and poet Dr. Maya Angelou is headed to Broadway. 

According to her son Guy Johnson, the production will be titled “Phenomenal Woman: An Evening With Maya Angelou” and will pull from the “many writings, along with some private musing that have never before been made public.” 

According to Deadline, “Phenomenal Woman” will be produced by her son Johnson, as well as David Michael Rich Of Corstoria, LLC, and J. Todd Harris Of Branded Pictures. 

“She brought a sense of passion to living and invested herself wholly in it. What she wanted most was justice for all human beings, and the freedom to experience joy and laughter,” he said in the statement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“We hope to capture her joie de vivre. We’re going to include some private anecdotes that will be a revelation to audiences. I’m pleased to be working with this team in bribing her story to life and can’t wait for the public to experience it,” the statement continued.

The project is slated to hit the stage sometime in 2021, according to reports.
