This show is so full of vigor and great music that we were entirely swept up in it. We were asked not to sing along. (Later we were asked to sing along.) But how could we not? The show does not shy away from questions of racial injustice or spousal or sexual abuse. It really can't, if it's to tell the story. But the matters were handled directly, not written around. There were several audience-wide gasps, especially early in the story. Karis Anderson has an awesome future for herself. Looking back at the 30-something-year-old me, I do not recall ever having a third such energy. One thing that disturbed me had nothing to do with the production. That was that, among the twelve-hundred or so faces, the percentage of non-white faces really didn't even register. My wife and I only made the matter more slanted. I'm reminded of an evening spent at Blue Chicago. The only black faces were on the stage. (If you go to Chicago, Kingston Mines is the place.) All that said, however you identify yourself, please go see this show.

It was a gift! The two visitors to the musical loved it and were almost sad that it was over so quickly. They could have watched it for a while longer!!! The actress Tina Turner was "mega cool" and the theater was just !!!! All in all, the visit was worth every penny!!!
