Save Your Money!!

if the play "will the real man please stand up" starring (and i use that term loosely) malik yoba and michelle williams of destiny's child, is coming to your town, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY GOING!!!!!

that was the worst mess i ever sat through. last night was the opening night and since one of my line sisters is in radio, she got us complimentary tickets. and i know i didn't pay, but i want money back!!! i DEMAND "bad play reparations!!"

last night was opening night. now peep this: the tickets said the play would be starting at 7:00 and printed on the ticket was "NO LATE SEATING."

HOW COME they didn't let us in the theatre until 7:45
HOW COME the play didn't start until 8:30

the play also stars phil perry, sean levert and christopher williams (who i wanted to see after the play to let him know he aint foolin nobody--that aint muscle bruh!). i think all these people thought this was their opportunity to make their re-entrance into the biz because they all sang the extended versions of songs. when i tell you that phil perry sang for about 10 minutes straight, i aint lying.

and the script, OMG!!!! i don't think they had one. i can imagine the play writers and directors conversation with the "actors" to go a little something like this:

Actor: "So, what are the lines for this scene?"
Writer/Director: "Um, we really don't have one. But, I want you all to talk about relationships."
Actor: "What shall we say?"
Writer/Director: "Just wing it. It's black folks, they will laugh at anything! Just make sure you wave your hands in the air a lot, Okay?"
Actor: "Okay, I'll TRY my best to fool those people into believing this is a play and not a concert."

from the title of the play, i was expecting the cast to look at some common issues that confront the african-american home/relationship. it didn't take long for me to figure out that the title was used to bait us. what we got instead was a very unconnected "play" that didn't make a bit of sense.

when the play was over, i couldn't contain myself. i had to let out a couple of curse words! i was so !!!

by the by, kelly rowland and solange were there to support michelle. kelly looks better in person.
