TIME has announced the 2023 TIME100, an annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Among those on this year's list are Suzan-Lori Parks, Lea Michele, Angela Bassett and more.
About Lea Michele returning to Broadway as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, Ryan Murphy shared, "She had done the impossible: made Fanny her own, to great critical and commercial acclaim. Older, wiser, stronger, Lea interjected the classic with a new burst of modernity and something singular: here she was playing a survivor and killing it because she herself had survived something."
About Suzan-Lori Parks, Sterling K. Brown shared, "Suzan-Lori is a playwright who thrives on collaboration; she's not trying to force people like pawns on a chessboard. She's looking for a visceral reaction to her words, and if they don't fully land, she goes back to the drawing board until those words impact her soul and the souls of her collaborators."
