Colman Domingo
, who recently starred in Kander and Ebb's acclaimed musical 'The Scottsboro Boys' and his self-penned 'A Boy and His Soul,' is keeping busy this summer. The thespian is set to co-host the Black Tony event and then join the Tony Award-winning musical 'Chicago.'

On Sunday, June 13, the Obie, Lucille Lortel and GLAAD Award winner will co-host 'Black 2: Broadway,' the exclusive event celebrating the contributions of performers of color in the arts, as it continues its sixth year of honoring past and present Tony Award winners of color.

This year's Black 2: Broadway event will include a cocktail hour, followed by a big-screen viewing of the Tony Awards telecast. During the commercial breaks, there will be performances by artists, previous Tony Award winners and current nominees.

"Colman Domingo is the real deal," said Kevin Anthony, co-founder and executive producer of Black 2: Broadway. "He's a major talent who has the ability to transport you into the many worlds he creates through his one-of-a-kind characters who not only make you laugh and cry but also think and feel. ... We are so thrilled to have Colman co-hosting our sixth annual Black 2: Broadway Celebrates the Tony Awards this year."

The following day, on June 14, Domingo starts playing Billy Flynn for a five-week limited run of 'Chicago,' which is now celebrating 13 glorious years of girls, glitz and glamour on the Great White Way. The record-breaking hit musical is the sixth longest-running production in Broadway history. His run will end on Sunday, July 18.

This fall, the Philadelphia native will reprise his role in 'The Scottsboro Boys,' as it moves from the Vineyard Theater to the Guthrie Theatre and then Broadway.

He has also been seen in the Tony Award-winning musical 'Passing Strange,' which, under the direction of Spike Lee, was recorded live for feature-film release.

Tickets for 'Black 2: Broadway' are still available and can be purchased here.
