Among his earliest and most significant Broadway credits was his role in the original cast of Dreamgirls, a Michael Bennett production in which he played C.C. White to critical acclaim.

In 2002, Morrow made his West End debut at the Shaftesbury Theatre in Rob Bettinson and Alan Janes' 125th Street. He then starred in the London premiere of Ragtime at the Piccadilly Theatre, directed by Stafford Arima, playing Coalhouse Walker Jr., a performance that earned him a nomination for the Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical.

Off-Broadway, Morrow appeared in the original production of The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin alongside Tony winner La Chanze, and played the title character of Blue Williams in Blue. He appeared in the Primary Stages production of While I Yet Live as Vernon in 2014, and more recently took part in the premiere presentation of Ripper the musical, directed by Stephen Amato at New World Stages.

Morrow's regional work has included Once on This Island at the Bay Street Theatre, a production filmed for the Lincoln Center Archives, and a staging of Ragtime in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, for which he received the award for Best Performance by a Visiting Actor. He was nominated for the Helen Hayes Award for his work in Tambourines to Glory in Washington, D.C., and appeared as Billy Strayhorn in the national touring company of Stormy Weather, starring Leslie Uggams as Lena Horne, including a run at the Prince Music Theatre in Philadelphia.
