Micki Grant’s DON’T BOTHER ME I CAN’T COPEDirected and Choreographed by Patdro Harris Musical Direction by Sanford Moore This history-making musical opened on Broadway in 1972 and continues to provoke and inspire more than five decades later.

Veering from block party to revival meeting to pointed social critique, Don’t Bother Me is a tour de force of Black joy, resilience, and resistance.

On Broadway, Rent gained critical acclaim and won several awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Musical. The Broadway production closed on September 7, 2008, after 12 years, making it one of the longest-running shows on Broadway.
