Jackson and LaTanya Richardson Jackson 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 I am feeling her massive houndstooth. ## John David Washington ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932ao-1665722267.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932ao) John David Washington 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 He has a great grin. It's a little mischievous. ## Michael Potts ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932aq-1665722249.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932aq) Michael Potts 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 Ooh, I love a monk-strap shoe. This whole color scheme is intriguing. ## Ray Fisher ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932at-1665722258.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932at) Ray Fisher 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 I'm so pleased that he's working! You may remember Ray as being in the DC Universe, and [he blew the whistle on some of Joss Whedon's behavior](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray%5FFisher%5F%28actor%29?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Took some guts from someone who isn't as famous as the people who therefore stand to lose way less. He looks dishy. ## Trai and Grace Byers ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932y-1665722285.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932y) (L-R) Trai Byers and Grace Byers 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 They look happy, and are apparently expecting. A good thing to come out of Empire! ## Jurnee Swan ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932z-1665722294.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932z) Jurnee Swan 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 If I were her age, I would be delighted to wear this to my Broadway debut. Live it up! ## Amirah Vann ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932gd-1665722302.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932gd) Amirah Vann 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 I miss her, from How To Get Away With Murder. She was sassy and wore great lipstick -- something she apparently continues here! -- and I would love to see her giving somebody a good dressing-down on, say, Grey's Anatomy. ## Nicole Ari Parker ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932fy-1665722312.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932fy) Nicole Ari Parker 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 She looks so different to me from picture to picture. She changes up her hair a lot and it throws me! Of course, [last I saw her, she was dressed as Covid](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/and-just-like-that-we-have-hat-madness-10-2022/), so. ## Jurnee Smollett ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932fd-1665722321.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932fd) Jurnee Smollett 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 Wow, something really suctioned itself to her chest and then brought its whole family. ## Whoopi Goldberg ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932ey-1665722330.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932ey) Whoopi Goldberg 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 I like this coat on Whoopi, and I appreciate her commitment to finding matching Wellies. ## Jane Krakowski ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932es-1665722339.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932es) Jane Krakowski 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 Ooooh, she JUST poked a toe out from under those pants. Nice save. ## Ethan Hawke ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932em-1665722347.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932em) Ethan Hawke 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 He is starting to look a little bit like a charismatic Rogue Megachurch leader. ## Uma Thurman ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932ee-1665722365.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932ee) Uma Thurman 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 I enjoy that Uma genuinely looks like someone who grabbed theatre tickets at the last minute and a quick bite to eat with her friend. ## Donna Murphy ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932cu-1665722411.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932cu) Donna Murphy 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 This is so dramatic, and SO well accessorized. It's also wild to me that she and Uma are at the same event. ## Jesse Williams ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932ec-1665722356.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932ec) Jesse Williams 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 Very handsome. The outfit, I mean, but also the man. ## Oscar Isaac ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932dw-1665722373.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932dw) Oscar Isaac 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 MMMHMM. ## Ruben Santiago-Hudson ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932dh-1665722401.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932dh) Ruben Santiago-Hudson 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 I believe he directed the last Broadway staging of The Piano Lesson, which one review said was and remains the very best one. I am not a black-and-blue person very often, and I think I would like this better with pants that matched the jacket and perhaps a white shirt? Or pale blue? But listen, the jacket and hat ARE great. ## Joel Grey ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932co-1665722420.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932co) Joel Grey 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 Perfect whimsy. ## Pauletta Washington ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932du-1665722382.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932du) Pauletta Washington 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 This is all excellent. That coat feels MADE for Fug Nation. ## with Spike Lee ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/10/shutterstock_editorial_13462932dp-1665722391.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13462932dp) (L-R) Spike Lee and Pauletta Washington 'The Piano Lesson' Opening Night on Broadway, New York, USA - 13 Oct 2022 You can get a sense of what Spike Lee looks like here. The important thing is: I thought [we'd had all the unbridled glee we would get this week](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/the-uk-premiere-of-women-talking-involved-women-laughing-10-2022/), and merrily I was wrong.
