According to her, the production of history in 2025 is not like the others. “He features Denzel Washington. It takes place in 2028. The clothes are modern. Delivery is real and passionate. You can see yourself in-even if they still use Shakespeare’s words,” she said.

Burruss also explained why the production of such a spectacle means as much for her as a colored businesswoman.

“In the opportunities I get, I always try to raise and make room for more opportunities for people like me. For blacks, people of color and women,” she said. “We had people who came to New York to see a show [who’d never been to Broadway before]… We are not just waiting for people who are already going to shows. We make our shows the destination. “”
