Black to the Future
Opening Night: September 12, 2016
Closing: October 10, 2016
Theater: Marquis Theatre
Known as the king of the rant, LEWIS BLACK uses his trademark style of comedic yelling and animated finger-pointing to skewer anything and anyone that gets under his skin. Just in time for the elections, he returns to one of Broadway’s biggest stages this fall to pound Trump, Hillary and all those bozos who bowed out… and that’s just for starters. This is Black comedy at its best, what you’ve been waiting for all season long to finally shed light on this crazy, messed-up country we call home. And you better act quickly because you’ve only got four “Black-on-Black” Monday nights to catch it.

During 20 years’ worth of guest appearances on “The Daily Show,” Lewis Black has gone through many moods: incensed, seething, irate, furious, aggrieved, annoyed. All right, not that many moods, then. At his quietest, he appears to be struggling to hold back another choleric eruption. But the dyspeptic persona Mr. Black deploys in his full-length act is less in-your-face intense. In his latest performance, “Black to the Future” (Mondays at the Marquis Theater, when the musical “On Your Feet!” is dark), the comedian works in a key even lower than that of his last couple of shows, 2013’s “Old Yeller” and 2012’s “In God We Rust.”
