BETTER THAN...
Arie Crown Theater - Chicago
...what we expected and would recommend others seeing it. 3 stars as we paid full price $$$ per ticket when a special came out a few days before the play at $$.

Longer Than Needed
Arie Crown Theater - Chicago
The 15-minute break, though possibly needed, extended the experience. Certain parts of the performance, such as the trips to Africa, lacked clear explanation or reference, leaving us questioning their significance. Additionally, a couple of the dance sequences could have been trimmed or omitted. With the show nearly reaching a three-hour mark, the audience grew restless towards the end, evident in many leaving before the final curtain call.
Nevertheless, the narrative effectively portrayed Rick James' life, fostering an appreciation for his journey and the tragedies he faced.

Amazing Show
Arie Crown Theater - Chicago
This was such a great production! The vocals, the costumes, the writing/storytelling were all exceptional! The man who plays young Rick James is a phenomenal singer! And of course Stokley as adult Rick James was incredible. We had such a good time.

The Experience
Arie Crown Theater - Chicago
This was one of the most unforgettable stage plays, I've experienced in a long time. Off the top of my head I don't have a comparison. The play was on time! The actresses & actors did an amazing job. Stokley & the young man that played the younger version of Rick James both embodied the character. The lighting & sound quality was top tier. The music was flawless! They really did an awesome job!

This show was absolutely amazing, I felt like Rick James was still alive and on that stage before me. The actors were so lively and on point. It brought back so many great memories of his era. I loved it and my friend did too! Keep this up it surely a winner!
