It’s fall, and that means several things — gorgeous leaves, an onslaught of pumpkin spice, and a new Broadway season.

This year’s array of plays and musicals includes two works by Sondheim, a revival of Ossie Davis’ “Purlie Victorious,” as well as several works by distinguished Black playwrights making their Broadway debuts.

NPR’s Jeff Lunden joins host Robin Young to talk about the new season.
