Chicken and Biscuits on Broadway Background

Chicken and Biscuits comes to Broadway after first staging its premiere at the Queens Theatre in Flushing Meadows on Feb. 28, 2020. The show only ran for two weeks at that theatre due to the COVID-19 shutdown. This show is the first one to ever graduate to a Broadway run from the Queens Theatre.

The show has a lot of firsts, with the show director, Zhailon Levingston, being the youngest ever Broadway show director at just 22 years of age. The show writer, Douglas Lyons, made his acting debut in The Book of Mormon in 2011 and also appeared in Beautiful in 2015.
