"Camille A. Brown has enjoyed so many successes in such big arenas that, in a highlight such as this, one can only tick them off: for the Alicia Keys jukebox-cum-memoir musical Hell’s Kitchen, a Tony nomination for best choreographer… for the glorious revival of Ntozake Shange’s for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf, Tony nominations for best choreography and best direction; for Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones, the breaking of the Met’s persistent color barrier, as its first Black director. I could go on. It’s surprising and heartening, then, that Brown hasn’t abandoned the concert stage or her ensemble. Expect her usual ebullient gestural language, which speaks for the community in the individual and reveals that individual to the community and to us. That is Brown’s superpower"
