Has anyone seen

Has anyone seen this show yet? I couldn't find any threads about it. I love Colman Domingo, and planned on seeing it this week but Sandy has put a stop to that. I wonder if the Public will extend all the shows that have been put on hold this week because of the Hurricane.

Saw it a couple of weeks ago. I think the performances and the direction are better than the material (sorry Colman)....the patter of the dialogue is at times hilarious....and there are a few very sweet moments, but as the Times (I think) said it comes across like something written by Tyler Perry's hipper cousin.

I have to agree wholeheartedly with Young Sally. It is a gorgeous production of a play with startling crisp performances, spot on direction and amazing production quality. Too bad the play underneath doesn't quite add up. There are indeed hysterical parts of dialogue but I feel this show is too personal to Coleman to work as a whole. Coleman probably has a great play in him somewhere but this isn't it.

It's funny but I found it rather insubstantial. Sharon Washington, however, is pretty darn great.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I wound up not being able to see the show, but it sounds like I didn't miss too much.

Well you did miss 4 great performances, an awesome set and some great witty dialogue. It is (was) worth seeing.
