Congratulations to Oscar Winner Lupita Nyong’o as Eclipsed Officially Opens on Broadway

Lupita Nyong’o plays The Girl amid the chaos of the Liberian Civil War in Eclipsed, which opens officially on Broadway on March 6. Directed by Liesl Tommy, the production, which follows the captive wives of a rebel officer, is playing at the John Golden Theatre. 

To celebrate the Broadway premiere of Danai Gurira's play, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this sketch of the Oscar winner alongside Saycon Sengbloh as Helena, Pascale Armand as Bessie, Akosua Busia as Rita and Zainab Jah as Maima.

Broadway.com wishes all involved a happy opening!



About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
