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."

Rating: 3 out of 5 Horrible seats/change in cast
by Lady G on 11/7/22The Met Philadelphia - PhiladelphiaPaid extra for box seats, very bad View and very uncomfortable. Was looking forward to Big Daddy Kane playing Nino, he ended up playing a cop. Very disappointed evening!
Rating: 3 out of 5 High School Musical
by Honest Opinion on 11/7/22The Met Philadelphia - PhiladelphiaThis stage play was a step above a High School musical. The sound in the Philly Met was terrible. The singing was pitchy and the choreography was very basic. The only saving grace was Treach, Allen Payne and Gary Dourdan acting skills … Treach really nailed Nino. Allen and Gary showed they are seasoned actors!
Rating: 5 out of 5 The Play was Outstanding! Singing and Acting was on POINT!!

Rating: 4 out of 5 Great Cast
by Kathy on 11/7/22The Met Philadelphia - PhiladelphiaOnly reason this isn’t a 5star is due to the venue. I believe it was a little all over the place, but the casting was spot on! I didnt Know what to expect when I learned Flex was Pookie, but let me tell you. He did that!! It was funny, intense and the acting was phenomenal. I truly enjoyed the show and am looking forward to any future plays.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Nostalgia
by Peachy on 11/7/22The Met Philadelphia - PhiladelphiaNew Jack. City makes us all of a certain age think of good times. It was fun. Everyone did a great job. Flex, Ice T, Big Daddy, Treach, Gary. My only criticism is that the vocals and music need some refinement. The theme music became a bit redundant. There was an expectation that Big Daddy Kanes role would somehow include what he’s masterful at and it never happened. We all know Martin exaggerated the dog scene and cemented that variant into the culture. We were all waiting for this. The production accomplished what it needed to accomplish. The criticism is what held back a 5 star rating. Overall, I recommend you see it. It was a great night out.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Excellent Play, horrible audience
by MrsJ on 11/7/22The Met Philadelphia - PhiladelphiaThe New Jack City play was great…the actors did great and the production was well put together…BUT the people in the audience were loud and ghetto shouting out their family members names and trying to tell the actors what to do! They talked the entire show! Ruined the whole experience 🤬

by Caray268 on 11/7/22The Met Philadelphia - PhiladelphiaI’d give it a 6 out of 10 ….I love Big Daddy Kane & Allen Payne anyway but Treach & Flex we’re great too…but without them I could have missed it

by Keeys on 11/7/22The Met Philadelphia - PhiladelphiaI enjoyed the play n the acting along with the story line was good.
Rating: 2 out of 5 Opening Night
by Noman on 11/7/22The Met Philadelphia - PhiladelphiaI’m hoping the problems were due to it being opening night. Microphones on the actors were terrible-you would think they never used microphones before. Acting from some of the actors was sub par. The audience was on my nerves-completely inappropriate-yelling profanity at the actors-unacceptable. At one point Treach’s mike went out. If they just shut up, they would have heard him-he was projecting his voice quite well. The positive-the set was awesome! Whoever designed the set-did a great job.
