Hillary Clinton, Ntozake Shange, Leigh Silverman, and Jeanine Tesori are just a few of the names that will be featured at the Public Theater next season. Per The New York Times, the Off Broadway venue will stage a revival of Shange’s “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf” and a Silverman-Tesori musical about a fictional relationship between Clinton and a Chinese businessman, among other productions.

“For Colored Girls” is expected to open in October. It is reportedly the “first major New York revival” of Shange’s “choreopoem.” It originally bowed at the Public in 1976 before moving to Broadway. Leah C. Gardiner (“If Pretty Hurts Ugly Must Be a Muhfucka”) will direct the new production and Camille A. Brown (“Choir Boy”) will choreograph.

Tesori (“Fun Home”) and David Henry Hwang’s new musical, “Soft Power,” is “an inverted riff on ‘The King and I,’ imagining a relationship between a Chinese businessman and Hillary Clinton as it explores America’s politics and changing place in the world,” the source details. Silverman (“Violet”) is directing the show, which begins in September. It previously ran at the Center Theater Group in Los Angeles and the Curran Theater in San Francisco.

February will see the opening of Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen’s “Coal Country.” The play centers on the 2010 Upper Big Branch mine explosion, in which 29 men were killed. Blank will helm the production.

Finally, Erika Dickerson-Despenza’s “Cullud Wattah” will premiere in July 2020. Candis C. Jones (“Pipeline”) is directing the play following black women navigating the water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
