The cast members chosen were exceptional. “ Tina Marie” I was blown away! Stage production went went well above expectations. However, kind of hard to here clearly but I’ve been coming to the Civics and performing at the Civics since I was a little girl. Understand it’s an old classic structure but acoustics needs attending to.
The play was amazing from start to finish. Je'caryous genuinely brought his story to life on the stage. Stokely came and stole the show just like I knew he would. And there was a Caucasian gentleman in the play who played several supporting roles (including a judge) who deserves a special shoutout. His dance moves were dynamite! He must have been the choreographer the way he was dancing. He tried to upstage Stokely, almost. Lol But seriously, I loved it. Glad I went and should see it too.
Super Freak was an exciting, informative & humorous production that gave fans a inside look into the life of musical Icon Rick James.
The cast did a wonderful job telling Rick James story.
Seating was ideal for a play. Sound was very good enjoyed the play. Just missed one of my favorite songs being sang. Bustin Out.
The play was awesome stokley did a great job playing rick james it really broke down his life story
Slow start. Informative. Staging was awful Probably wouldn’t recommend. Not for the price. Should have been half the price
It was ok. It's a little too long. Loved actors who portrayed Rick James and his Mother. The sound system could better to give the singers a boost for a stronger vocal sound.
The actors were good and could really sing. It’s a must see. I recommended it to everyone.
The cast did an outstanding job! I loved every minute of it!! I learned so much about Rick James and what a musical genius he was! His music lives in my heart forever!!
