Excellent play! Glad it's on DVD now!

This play was funny, intense, inspirational and thought provoking all at the same time. I've never seen Wendy Raquel Robinson in such a dramatic role and she did a great job. Both Lloyd and Keith Robinson put on stellar acting and vocal performances. I really liked the song Keith sang with the acoustic guitar. It was very touching. Clifton Powell normally does dramatic roles but this time around he was a comedian and showed some versatility. It's nice to see an African American play with substance. This play really makes you value the idea of family and honesty amongst the people you love. I would encourage everyone to watch this with their families and afterward discuss the deeper meaning behind the plot. I will definitely be buying this DVD today!

Well worth it!

I'm always skeptical when it comes to stage plays but this one really surprised me. The story was very believable and the script wasn't "preachy" at all. The cast did an excellent job especially Keith Robinson. I've only seen him in a few roles but he shined as Gary. His singing voice was great too. Wendy Raquel Robinson was dramatic but still had her unique comedic timing. It was cool to see her play a different type of role. I like the fact that Lloyd was in this because he appeals to a younger audience. He's very talented and hopefully he'll do more stage shows. This DVD is definitely good for Sunday afternoon with the family.
