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."

    Awesome

    by Mariah on 11/9/22The Lyric - Baltimore

    I enjoyed myself and so did my mom and aunt. There were a few laughs and serious moments. Everyone did a phenomenal job. High five to the characters. I absolutely loved it!

    Amazing

    by LynnMD on 11/9/22The Lyric - Baltimore

    I’m so glad I went to see the play, it was good. I was glad to see Flex, Allen Payne and Big Daddy Kane (looking like a whole snack), they all look good. Their performances was amazing. It was funny because at some point they actually engaged with the audience. I highly recommend if it’s coming to your city, go see it.

    by Sani on 11/9/22The Met Philadelphia - Philadelphia

    A must see and money well spent! The cast did a great job. Treach did a great job playing Nino and Flex played the hell out of Pookie!

    Worst experience ever

    by Madashell on 11/8/22The Met Philadelphia - Philadelphia

    The show opened at 7pm i purchased 3 tickets and came from nj to see this play. We rode around for 2 straight hours with a lot of others that were trying to find parking in which there was no parking at all to accomodate any of us for this play. To find out i could not get my money back.which this was not my fault . Ticketmaster emailed me to tell me i could have given my tickets away. At 9pm we were still.riding around this city to find parking. Why would i give the tickets away when trying to find parking to see the play. Never again will.Met Philadelphia get my money unless they do better than this. I would never tell anyone to go unless they catch a bus then good luck getting to the theater.

    Nice show

    by Kelly on 11/8/22The Met Philadelphia - Philadelphia

    I think all the characters did great. One thing i was hoping to see was someone similar to keshia character, although she did great i just was hoping for all the characters to be similar to the actual characters.

    by Blanny on 11/8/22The Met Philadelphia - Philadelphia

    Its good to see a cultural play, and to have original actor, from the movie, all the actors were great. I must say, ready to see what Je'Caryous Johnson produces next, very talented person.

    Low Budget High School Musical

    by Toots on 11/8/22The Met Philadelphia - Philadelphia

    The play was very low budget for the cost. The production and set was poorly done. Left the play during intermission. Expected a lot better than what was delivered.

    Enjoyed the show

    by Glenda on 11/8/22The Met Philadelphia - Philadelphia

    We as African American people need to do better when it come to going out and supporting. Know how to conduct ourselves when attending a theater show. Attending “The Met” should be the same experience as going to broadway to see The Piano Lesson or any of those plays. Broadway don’t do a purse lock up only inspection. Did not like appreciate that women had to check their purse if it was not a crossbody; wristlet, or clear and charged $10 and when I went to retrieve my purse the attendant was handing someone else’s purse. Not cool. 😐🤦🏽‍♀️GF

    Uncomfortable

    by Nesh on 11/8/22The Met Philadelphia - Philadelphia

    The Remake of the play was nice. It was actually my first tine at the MET since I was a kid. The seats and leg room are not for an average size adult! Half my row complained about their knees and legs hurting because the space was so tight. Second to have to walk up 2 full flights steps to get to our seats was terrible! Honestly I don’t think I’ll be visiting the Met again.

    Nostalgic moment

    by Nick on 11/8/22The Met Philadelphia - Philadelphia

    The star studded cast delivered a stellar performance. If you saw the movie, you're bound to have a nostalgic moment. The experience also delivered some well delivered surprises. A definite must see.

    Loved it

    by Jua on 11/8/22The Met Philadelphia - Philadelphia

    I really enjoyed the play. I must say Je'Caryous kept the storyline tight and I could not have done a better job with the casting. From Allen Payne playing Gee Money to Trech paying Nino Brown and even Torrie Hart. Everyone was on point!!!

    Show was good

    by Ms T on 11/8/22The Met Philadelphia - Philadelphia

    The show itself was good. But the venue and audience not so much. Lots of talking and phones with videos out...parking for The Met needs to be upgraded.
