In a strange loop, which won the best musical at Tony Awards in June, the main character is what could just as easily be a declaration of the transformation that takes place on Broadway. "Blackness, queerness, fighting to fill this cis-het space, all white, with a portrait of a portrait of a portrait of a black queer face and a choir full of black queer voice", sings the character Usher, a queer queer, black man in a show focused on his doubts about writing a musical on himself. Tonys this year has marked an important step: the first season of Broadway since the pandemic forced a historic closure which lasted a year and a half. It was far from a full season, with a few shows opening at Midway Point, others closed early and routine cancellations due to COVID-19. In May, ticket sales fell 54% compared to the record summits before the pandemic. But although the recovery was not fluid, there was something to celebrate: a diversified range of new productions. This is part of a transformation motivated by the actors, producers and leaders of the industry demanding more representation in an industry that was traditionally mainly white.

One of the rare black producers of Broadway, the winner of the Tony Award, Ron Simons, calls the catalyst pandemic for a long -term change. "It changed in a year," he said, "as without advance, no delay. We had a various audience. We had various stories in one season. The spirit is blowing." "Mind Blowing" is also the way Simons describes what it was to have three shows open after the pandemic - thoughts of a man of color, for colored girls and is not too proud. "It came to my mind that it was possible that my three programs, all on blacks and browns, could be on Broadway at the same time," he said. "Nothing from a distance like that has ever happened. So it talks a lot about what's going on in Broadway now." One of the rare black producers of Broadway, Tony Award's winner Ron Simons, is photographed in New York.
