- Tracee Ellis Ross is making her Broadway debut in the solo show Every Brilliant Thing, which opened on Tuesday.
- The play explores depression through an uplifting narrative, where a narrator compiles a list of life's simple joys to encourage a depressed mother.
- Ross steps into a role previously held by Daniel Radcliffe and Mariska Hargitay, with the script being uniquely adapted to reflect her personal background and experiences.
