It's terribly cold in February. New York City is typically hit with more winter-type conditions in the early months of a new year, rather than at the end of the previous year. Blank: An Ode To Broadway's Black History at The Green Room 42, presented late in the month that has just passed, was a warm showing by some exciting new Black talents performing iconic musical numbers written for Black performers. Ranging from the Gershwins to Malloy, vocalists Bobby Barksdale, Deja-Simone Crumpton, Phoenix Gray, Tyreese Kadle, Aveena Sawyer, and Ayanna Thomas took their audience on a journey through time, visiting some of the most epochal moments in Broadway's Black history. Seeing all these numbers together was a reminder of where theater has come from, and a look at the artists who will see it into the future.
