Lewis joins 2011 Tony nominee Joshua Henry (The Scottsboro Boys), who plays Jake, and Phillip Boykin, who plays Crown, in the new production that is making the transformation from opera to musical, under the direction of Diane Paulus.
Here, the men of Porgy and Bess discuss their characters, their experience in rehearsals and the changes that are incorporated into the new version.
According to A.R.T., "This classic American tale tells the story of the beautiful and troubled Bess, who turns to Porgy, the crippled beggar, in search of safety after her possessive lover Crown commits murder.
