The stage bursts to life in the gritty streets of Buffalo, the backdrop for the arrival of the King of Punk Funk, Mr. Rick James.
Standing 5'11" with his iconic braids and leather-clad body, Rick's flamboyant and unruly stage persona takes center stage. Super Freak: The Rick James Story" brings Rick James' turbulent life to the stage, creating a musical extravaganza that immerses the audience in a vibrant and sensual showcase of his popular hits such as "Give It to Me Baby," "Mary Jane," and "Super Freak."
Beyond the glittering facade, the musical explores the layers of Rick's internal struggles and insane lifestyle filled with sex, drugs, and music. "Super Freak: The Rick James Story" captures the essence of a musical icon, leaving audiences with an unforgettable experience and the resounding declaration, "He's Rick James, Bitch!"
It was a great show! Stokely is that guy! It was a professional show and was on-time.
Great acting by all characters, but the actress playing the mom was the best! I love Stokely, and of course, he did his thing. I recommend seeing this play for an entertaining evening. I cried, laughed, sang, and danced IN MY SEAT!
It was excellent. All the performers did a really great job. The singing was awesome. My nephew made his home tow in Arkansas proud.
It was very entertaining show with amazing vocal talent and wonderful choreography! Loved the show!
The show was absolutely amazing! Stokely did a wonderful job of portraying Rick! He has such range in his voice. The actress who played Rick’s mom has an outstanding voice as well. All of the actors were on point! I loved the costumes as well as the incorporation of other artists from the time! It was entertaining from the beginning to the end. I truly felt that I got my money’s worth in the show. Bravo!
I was greatly surprised how Tastefully it was done and enjoyed the reminiscent of old music from back in the day up until now and I think it was a great experience from the age 8 to 80 to come out and experience a wonderful play
This play was extremely enjoyable! I loved the acting and music. Stokley is my favorite singer and he did an outstanding job as Rick James.
I very much enjoyed my experience. I haven't been out in a long time. I took myself out on a date to this wonderful play. I had a jack and coke and was captivated by the performances of the actors. Much love and I am also going to the upcoming New Jack City play. I can't wait ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
After Set It Off, Johnson had to come with the funk in order to top it. It was a great show. I thought the casting was done well, the length of the show, the historical accuracy.... It was great fun and had multiple generations singing and dancing in the aisles. We can't wait for the next production! I would've paid to go back again and take more people but STL was the 2nd to last stop. Bravo
The actresses and actors were outstanding, they brought Rick James life alive. I would love to see more plays about our legends.
