Nas Hosts 29 Hour Workshop To Make Sure “Beat Street” On Broadway Is Perfect

Nas is bringing the 1984 hip-hop classic “Beat Street” to Broadway, and he’s already put in serious work to make it happen. The Grammy-winning rapper orchestrated a 29-hour intensive workshop that brought together the creative team to develop the stage adaptation, and the results are already shaping up to be something special. According to Deadline, the workshop brought together director Schele Williams from “The Wiz,” book writer Kristoffer Diaz from “Hell’s Kitchen,” and music supervisor Jason Michael Webb, who’s worked on Broadway hits like “MJ: The Musical” and the upcoming “Purple Rain.” What makes this project so significant is that it’s not just another nostalgia play.
