Broadway star: Lupita Nyong'o appeared on stage as her hit play Eclipsed began previews on Broadway on Tuesday
The play was written by playwright and Walking Dead actress Danai Gurira, who also attended the show.


Eclipsed centers on a group of women who are kept captive by a rebel leader in war-torn Liberia. They band together to create a community, until the arrival of Lupita's rebel new girl character upsets their routine.

On Tuesday, style icon Lupita was dressed down in costume.

Take a bow! The cast soaked up the audience applause after the show
She wore a tattered blue tank top with ripped jeans and chunky boots.
And the Star Wars actress pulled her hair up in elaborate braids and wrapped a red bandana around her head.
In addition to her Broadway run, Lupita will next be seen in the live action version of The Jungle Book.
On Tuesday, her costars Zainab Jah and Akosua Busia also joined her on stage as they re-launched the show, which officially opens on March 6.

Intense: The drama follows a group of women being kept captive by a war lord during Liberia's civil war, and is the first Broadway play to have an all-female cast and creative team
Writer and actor Danai looked glamorous in a tight colbalt blue dress with white and black geometric patterns.
She added a long black coat and heels, and wore dark red lipstick and dramatic blue eyeshadow.
The play was first produced at The Public Theater Off-Broadway, and earned rave reviews after its debut in October. It also drew a big crowd, and was extended twice before closing on November 29 after a sold-out run.
The show is also making history as the the first Broadway play to feature a cast and creative team that are all women and are all black.

Multi-talented: The Walking Dead star and writer wore a long black coat and dark heels
Also attending the first preview was actress Kathleen Turner.
The 61-year-old wore a long black coat over a grey top, and added a purple backpack as she posed for photos.

Khloe Kardashian reveals rapper would play his albums at stricken athlete's bedside

'Kanye was instrumental in his recovery': Khloe Kardashian reveals rapper would play his music at stricken Lamar's bedside as a form of therapy


Khloe Kardashian has opened up about estranged husband Lamar Odom's first public appearance following his devastating drug overdose late last year.

The 31-year-old reality star revealed that brother-in-law Kanye West played a huge role in getting the athlete back on his feet and able to attend his Yeezy 3 presentation earlier this month.

Khloe was talking with hosts on Hollywood Today Live on Tuesday where she said that the rapper would play his music at Lamar's bedside as he lay comatose in hospital.

'Kanye was really instrumental in Lamar getting better,' she said.

Khloe Kardashian gave credit to brother-in-law Kanye West for helping Lamar Odom get better as she talked to hosts on Hollywood Today Live
'Kanye would come to the hospital and play his album for Lamar,
'Lamar couldn't speak at this time... but he would say he could understand everything, he just couldn't get the words out and he felt really trapped in his own body which was terrifying,
'When he was finally able to speak he would say "Man, Kanye really helped me, I love that he would come'

The reality star said that it meant a lot to Lamar to make it to Madison Square Garden for Kanye's event after all he'd done for him
Khloe spoke of her amazement at the former NBA star's miraculous recovery - considering he couldn't walk only a month and a half ago - to be able to attend the Madison Square Garden event and show his support for the 38-year-old Gold Digger hitmaker.
But she wasn't so sure he was ready to be going to such a big public show.
'I did not want him to go to New York, I had a ton of anxiety, like "Is it too much stimulus for his brain?"


But the KUWTK star revealed that doctors cleared Lamar to go to the highly anticipated fashion extravaganza.

'He was good to go and it meant so much to Lamar' she said.

Musical therapy: Khloe explained that although Lamar couldn't speak at this time he later said he understood everything and once out of his coma said 'Man, Kanye really helped me, I love that he would come'
'I thought it was so dope of Kanye to want to walk out with Lamar'
Pictures from the February 11 event showed the athlete clad in sweater, beanie and camouflage jacket as he stood in the spotlight with the Only One rapper.
He also flashed a smile as he posed backstage with the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
Meanwhile, on this week's episode of Kocktails with Khloe, the blonde beauty talked about how much love she still has for the 36-year-old professional basketball player.

So much love: It's the second time this week Khloe has talked about Lamar's recovery as she also talked about how she hasn't ruled out reconciling romantically with the former NBA star

She told her guests that she hadn't ruled out remarrying Lamar, saying 'I mean, that would be like the best dream.


'But it's really hard to erase everything that happened. Just building a friendship back is what I'm doing now, it has nothing intimately, nothing at all, just pure love and I want someone to learn how to love themselves again.' she explained.


Following Lamar's October collapse after a four-day bender at a Nevada brothel, Khloe has stayed close by his side despite filing for divorce in 2013.

Hopes: The host told her guests on Kocktails with Khloe that she hadn't ruled out remarrying Lamar, saying 'I mean, that would be like the best dream'

Jenny, who received a trophy at that awards ceremony too for her work on Mad Max: Fury Road, told The Telegraph,' Yes we are friends, and I am absolutely not upset'.
Kate also bumped into that other 'Cate' - Cate Blanchett - behind-the-scenes at the show.

Poised: Kate sat demurely at the table and her hair and make-up still looked perfect
The two actresses greeted each other warmly and clutched hands.
Kate was also spotted sitting at the table and looking like she'd barely touched her dinner.
