The Lowdown
Produced with the National Black Theatre, this is a strictly limited run: previews begin September 9, 2026, with the final curtain on October 4. The Griffin Theater at The Shed seats around 500, so it’s a close-up room for a musical this big — the kind of get-in-early ticket Off-Broadway regulars live for. Bring tissues, bring a date, and bring your best ‘I saw it before it transferred’ energy.
