About
"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."

by Deb on 1/17/24Hobby Center - HoustonThe play was more.than I expected. I enjoyed the whole nine! I especially enjoyed seeing Allen Payne in the play, and was dissappointed that some of the others like Ice-T, Wesley Snipes and Chris Rock didn't show an appearance for the show that made their name a household name in the black community. Enjoyed the singers/music and the entire play.

Rating: 2 out of 5 Too Much!
by Queen Jean on 1/17/24Hobby Center - HoustonI was disappointed in the overall experience. There was movement and late entries well after the play had started. There was much too much profanity in the play. The story line was good and the actors were fine but I was turned off by the language.

by MD on 1/17/24Hobby Center - HoustonI thoroughly enjoyed myself at the show. The cast was innovative, but made sure to plug in those iconic lines and scenes. The new and local talent meshed very well with the original cast. Overall, GREAT show.

by Tameka H on 1/16/24Hobby Center - HoustonThe cast was spectacular and Je’caryous did a great job of capturing the movie into the play. It was so good to see one of the original characters Allen Payne that made it all come together. Treach was the perfect one to play Nino Brown, and the one and only Mr Gary Dourdan did an amazing job 👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾
