This was my first Je'Caryous Johnson play, and it won't be my last. I really enjoyed NEW JACK CITY LIVE. Great choice of actors in each of the leading rolls.
I had to purchase additional tickets because my original tickets were wrong. I brought 8pm tickets because of traveling to Raleigh from Virginia and arriving by 3 to check into a hotel My tickets listrd were for 3. I reviewed my email saw the wrong tickets then paid for the 8pm tickets ensuring we saw the play.
As an African American, I’m very proud of how this play was displayed. Good props and visuals, it felt believable, it wasn’t overshadowed with musicals and the actors did a great job of making you feel their character.
All facets of the movie were brought to life right in front of us. It was so real that I knew most of the lines! And when Big Daddy Cane did his thang, oh my…they dropped the mic! That show was awesome and the humorous twist made it a bit more interesting. I loved it!
The place was great!! The character's knew their lines and stayed in character the entire time!! I’m not a fan of “singing” plays but this one was different… even the singing was great as well as catchy. It’s a must see… looking forward to attending more plays be Mr. Johnson!!
My friends & I attended the New Jack City show in LA over the weekend. The actors did a great job of bringing the movie back to life. Loved every minute of it. Would definitely see it again. Je’Caryus Johnson is a genius!
Wonderful play! Perfect actors. Allen Payne, Big Daddy Kane, Treach, Flex, Gary Dourdan. Excellent job bringing a beloved film to life. You could really feel that Treach was Nino! I look forward to more plays from Je'Caryous Johnson!
