Tracee Ellis Ross is officially heading to Broadway.
The six-time Emmy nominee and Golden Globe winner will make her Broadway debut this summer in Every Brilliant Thing at the Hudson Theatre, beginning performances July 7 for a limited run through August 9.
Ross joins the Tony-nominated revival following runs led by Daniel Radcliffe and Mariska Hargitay. Radcliffe, who opened the production in March, will play his final performance on May 24, while Hargitay is set to take over from May 26 through July 5 before Ross steps into the role.
The latest extension marks the fourth for the acclaimed revival, which recently earned Tony Award nominations for Best Revival of a Play and Best Leading Actor in a Play for Radcliffe.
Written by Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe and directed by Jeremy Herrin, Every Brilliant Thing centers on a person reflecting on the moments, memories, and small joys that helped them navigate life while coping with a parent’s mental health struggles. The deeply interactive one-person show invites audience members to participate throughout the performance, helping bring the story’s characters and “brilliant things” to life.
“I’ve been a fan of Tracee’s work for a long time and knew her quick-wit, intelligence and emotional depth would be the perfect fit for Every Brilliant Thing,” Macmillan said in a statement. “We are beyond thrilled that she has chosen to make her Broadway debut with us this summer. We can’t wait to welcome her to the Hudson Theatre, and for audiences to experience her unique take on the play.”
Ross is best known for her starring roles in Black-ish and Girlfriends, as well as her recent appearance in American Fiction. Her Broadway debut adds another major milestone to a career that has long balanced comedy, drama, and cultural impact across television and film.
Originally performed in venues around the world and staged in more than 80 countries, Every Brilliant Thing transferred to Broadway following a successful West End run. The production officially opened at the Hudson Theatre on March 12 to critical acclaim and recently won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Solo Performance.
