Unfortunately, the showtimes are difficult to find for some cities. I have not seen the play but heard it was powerful.

I don't think we need another "sad Black folks" story in Hollywood because most Black movies in the theaters are sad tales. I get "Waiting to Exhale" vibes from the previews but know it's more dramatic than that. I hope it's nothing like the miserable "Precious" which I absolutely hated hated hated and thought was horrendous.
I've seen and read the play, but I just can't imagine TP doing a good job on this. I'd hope it was more like "Waiting to Exhale," but I think it's going to be some "woe is us" crap that I cannot handle.
