Kim Kardashian has joined the Broadway producing team of The Fear of 13, a play that revolves around the true story of Nick Yarris, who spent over two decades on death row for a murder he vehemently denies committing. This marks Kardashian's debut on Broadway, where she has frequently visited the White House to advocate for clemency on behalf of inmates and successfully led to the commutation of Alice Marie Johnson's life sentence for a drug offense.
"My commitment to criminal justice reform has always been about more than just policy - it's about people," Kardashian said. "I've learned that sometimes the most effective way to change minds is through a powerful story. The Fear of 13 is that story. It's a raw, honest portrayal of Nick Yarris's wrongful conviction and the systemic failures that kept him behind bars for two decades. I couldn't be more proud to make my Broadway producing debut with a project that carries such vital weight."
The play, written by Lindsey Ferrentino and directed by David Cromer, comes to Broadway after a successful run in the West End. The Broadway cast also includes Ephraim Sykes, Michael Cavinder, Eddie Cooper, Victor Cruz, Eboni Flowers, Joel Marsh Garland, Jared Wayne Gladly, Joe Joseph, Jeb Kreager, and Ben Thompson.
The play began previews at the James Earl Jones Theatre on March 19th, ahead of its official opening on April 15th. The opening night of the play is set for April 15th at the James Earl Jones Theatre, promising to be an unforgettable experience for all who attend.
