Between Riverside and Crazy at the Hayes Theater on Broadway!  This  Pulitzer Winning Show is Hot, Hot, Hot! Starts November 30th. Runs for 11 Weeks ONLY!

Beautiful People, 

It was a blessing that audience development consultant Kojo Ade invited me to attend the dress rehearsal of "Between Riverside and Crazy!"  This Pulitzer winning show is Hot, Hot, Hot!  And I will go back to see it again!

Between "Riverside and Crazy" 

allowed me to witness the dramatic mastery of #StephenMcKinleyHenderson.  He is simply magnificent with a sense of humor that made me laugh till I cried!

His character, Mr. Washington is a delusioned, injured, retired NYC police officer who knows what it's like to experience racism on his job.  He is also an alcoholic and in his day might well have been a ladies man.  He's a smart and sometimes belligerent who speaks in raw language we might not expect. 

Mr. Washington and his son Junior played by Oscar, Emmy and Grammy award winner #COMMON and a few of Junior's friends live in a palatial rent controlled apt on Riverside Drive and of course the landlord has served an eviction notice. 

Though we don't know the whole story of Junior who was recently released from prison, but in MY MIND he is a booster/thief,  player/ladies man with a hot, sexy woman that he doesn't know if he loves but wants to keep for the time being. It also seems like he's been in therapy so he desperately wants to heal himself and his relationship with his father.

We do know that Junior is enrolled in City College and wants to turn his life around.  Unfortunately,  old habits are hard to break.  Junior's girl friend played by #RosalColon is extremely affectionate and a little sex crazed. 

I was also so honored to meet writer #StephenAdleyGuirgis, the costume designer (I love the costumes), the assistant costume designer Diejah Valle, her Mom, Diana Valle  some of the wonderful actors including the hilarious #LizaColonZayas who like many of the characters in this tremendous Ensemble Cast, has a hidden agenda.  Kudos to the Entire Second Stage Team!

Thanks #KojoAde for a great night.
