Rapper and actor Common has made his Broadway debut in the play “Between Riverside and Crazy” and what he sees from the stage is something he never imagined: a multi-cultural audience hanging on to every word.
“It really expresses New York. It captures New York life, human beings. No one is all good. no one is all bad. But in New York you see the blend and integration of so many different types of people and nationalities. And it’s just natural,” he said Monday at the play’s official opening.
The goal for Common was presenting the character as a “whole person” and not someone discarded by society because he was behind bars or an addict. “That’s not all he is. Junior loves his father. He loves his mother. He actually aspires to do something,” Common said. Looking out from the stage each night, the veteran actor Henderson says he sees more diversity than he’s ever seen before.
