“A fast-paced, highly charged evening”
—Time Magazine

Russell Simmons, the so-called Godfather of Hip-Hop and founder of Def Jam Records, presents Def Poetry Jam the lyrical, smart, hilarious and searingly honest show that was a Broadway phenomenon. Nine gifted young poets—an all-star roster of poetry slam winners—speak from the heart about love, dreams, self-respect, politics and everything that makes today’s world a fascinating, complex place. This rip-roaring show won the 2003 Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event.
