VIDEO: Watch ECLIPSED's Lupita Nyong'o React To Seeing Not Just Her Name, But Her Face On A Broadway Marquee

Seeing your name up in lights on Broadway is one thing, but seeing your face on a Broadway marquee is not an experience many share, especially when making their debut on The Street.

But after Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o and an excellent ensemble played Danai Gurira's tense and gripping ECLIPSED to a run of sold-out houses at The Public Theater earlier this season, a Broadway transfer seemed inevitable. And when you have an Oscar winner in the house giving a riveting performance, you may as well make the most of it.

In this short but sweet video, Nyong'o reacts to seeing ECLIPSED's marquee for the first time.

Eclipsed marks a historic moment on Broadway: the first time the cast, director, and playwright are composed entirely of female artists, fitting for a production that so stunningly chronicles the experiences of a group of very resilient women.

Eclipsed is proud to participate in 10,000 Girls, an initiative to bring ten thousand girls to see the show. These young women would be from the Tri-State area between the ages of 16 to 24, and would likely never have the opportunity to attend a Broadway show.

Eclipsed's sold out engagement at The Public Theater concluded on November 29, 2015 after having been twice-extended during its celebrated run. The production marked the fastest-selling new play in recent Public history, with a bevy of starry audience members in attendance over the course of the run including luminaries Oprah Winfrey,Denzel Washington, Stevie Wonder, Spike Lee, Sally Field, Chris Rock, Alfre Woodard, Harry Belafonte, and Common, among many others.

On the heels of her Academy Award-winning, breakout performance in 12 Years a Slave, Lupita Nyong'o stunned critics and audiences in the Public Theater's sold-out hit Eclipsed-the "scorching and powerful" (The Guardian) new play by Zimbabwean-American playwright and actress Danai Gurira (star of AMC's "The Walking Dead" and co-author of In the Continuum). Now, the global star makes her Broadway debut in this "must-see" (NBC New York) production written, directed and performed entirely by female artists.

Eclipsed is the story of five extraordinary women brought together by upheaval in their homeland of Liberia. They forge a close-knit community... one that inspires them to feats of increasingly greater strength. Directed by South African-born Liesl Tommy (The Good Negro, Appropriate), Eclipsed is a stirring tale of hope, humor and resilience-and the only new play by a woman on Broadway this season.

Eclipsed is produced on Broadway by Stephen C. Byrd, Alia Jones-Harvey, Paula Marie Black, Carole ShorensteinHays, Alani LaLa Anthony, Kenny Ozoude, Michael Magers, Willette Klausner, Dominion Pictures, Emanon Productions, FG Productions, Scott & Molly Forstall, The Public Theater and Associate Producer Marvet Britto.
