Tickets Now On Sale to See Montego Glover & More in The Royale Off-Broadway

Tickets are now available to see Montego Glover and more in The Royale off-Broadway. Directed by Rachel Chavkin, the new play by Marco Ramirez will begin previews on February 11 at Lincoln Center’s Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater. Opening night is set for March 7.

Joining Glover in the cast will be McKinley Belcher III, Khris Davis, John Lavelle and Clarke Peters.

Loosely based on the real-life experiences of Jack Johnson, the first African-American heavyweight world champion, The Royale tells, in six rounds, the fictional story of Jay “The Sport” Johnson (Davis), a charismatic Negro Heavyweight Champion. It’s 1905 and as Johnson faces his opponents—and confronts his demons—he exposes the troublesome events in his life that have propelled him into the ring with a burning desire to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
