Jeremy O. Harris, a giraffe of humans (he said it, not us), appeared on The Late Late Show With James Corden January 25 to talk all things France and Zola. Check him out in the video clip above.
Harris, whose Tony-nominated Slave Playjust completed its second run on Broadway, co-wrote the screenplay for the film Zola with director Janicza Bravo. Based on a 2015 Twitter thread by Aziah Wells (Zola) chronicling her wild trip to Florida with an exotic dancer, the film is nominated for seven Independent Spirit Awards, including Best Screenplay.
As an actor, Harris can be seen on the current season of Emily in Paris on Netflix, and as himself on HBO Max's Gossip Girl reboot. Zola is available on demand and on Showtime.
Audra McDonald, Julian Ovenden, Marisha Wallace, and Patrick Wilson are among the 2023 concert's starry line-up celebrating the Oklahoma! and South Pacific creators.
Celebrating the iconic musical theatre writing duo's 80th anniversary, My Favorite Things is screening in U.K. movie theatres and will broadcast in the U.S. on PBS.
The presentation will go behind the scenes of the Oscar-nominated Leonard Bernstein biopic and will include performances of music from the film's soundtrack.
