"NEW JACK CITY LIVE, transports audiences to metropolis-Harlem, NY where they bear witness to the journey of the infamous Nino Brown, a drug lord who, when caught in the crossfires of the dangerous drug game, must decide what's most important: friendship, money, or total domination. Balancing betrayal between friends, lovers, and ultimately generational hardships, this riveting rendition of the time-honored movie will have everyone leaving the theatre wondering "Am I my brother's keeper?"
Set to the soundtrack of some of the most quintessential songs from the film, NEW JACK CITY LIVE will give audiences across the nation an opportunity to relive all their favorite, intense, heart-pounding moments from the blockbuster movie as they experience classic theater storytelling as shared through the culturally astute lens of four-time national championship playwright and NAACP Trailblazer Award recipient, Je'Caryous Johnson."

The show was excellent. All-star cast who all gave all-star performances. I would definitely see it again.
For the type of movie that New Jack City is, I didn’t care for all the music, it was a musical to me. I’ve been to his other plays and I felt the emotion and the realness of the show and the way it could be a reality. Other than that I enjoyed
New Jack City Live was awesome. Hilarious, great scenes from movie and some additional that were great. I would see it again.
Don’t do what I did and skip this play and save your $.
Great show I like all the actors ready for the next plays
Not a dull moment and so on point with the movie. My family and I were more than impressed and will be waiting for the next one on Rick James!
We thoroughly enjoyed the play. The actors,stage, lighting, music was phenomenal. My only critique is, I wish they enforced the arrival time of patrons like other theater productions. It was very distracting having people constantly coming in extremely late during the performance. I am looking forward to the next Je'Caryous Johnson production!
I really enjoyed the play. I love Allen Payne! Really had a good time. Is there anyway I can meet him?
The show was phenomenal and the acting was excellent. I am looking forward to future productions.
