Writer/Director/Producer Je’Caryous Johnson who brought you the sold out hit play, “Married But Single” and the hilarious romantic comedy, “Two Can Play That Game” is back with another one – Je’Caryous Johnson presents SET IT OFF based on the hit iconic movie by the same name. Fans will get to relive the ride that made them love SET IT OFF the movie, but this time around they will experience it LIVE ON STAGE.
The hit heist, cult classic movie you love is now a stage play and coming to your city. The same iconic characters – Frankie, Tisean (T.T.), Stoney and Cleo are back bringing the same action packed, adrenaline filled robbery scenes and emotionally charged antics against an equally exciting music soundtrack that will have you on the edge of your seat. Multi–platinum selling rapper DA BRAT will be starring as Cleopatra “CLEO” Sims, the role originally played by Queen Latifah in the movie. Fans will recall SET IT OFF centers on four childhood friends who spent a lifetime struggling to move away from the mean streets of their neighborhood. The system stole their dreams and now the four are determined to steal them back. With their world in turmoil and their backs against the wall, they decide to seek their fortune - literally. Targeting the banks of Los Angeles, Cleo, Stony, Tisean (T.T.) and Frankie rob the city's most vulnerable financial institutions. Flush with cash, they discover that mo’ money equals mo’ problems.

I really enjoyed the play. The characters were brought live and it was amazing. A must see!
It was an awesome show!!!! I would highly recommend it, I’m 42 and I took my 63 year old mother and she also enjoyed it!
The play was AWESOME! :-) The entire cast was AMAZING! The play started on time, which my husband and I, saw as a huge plus. We enjoyed the comedic relief and so did the audience. Da Brat even gave us an impromptu performance and even came down and gave her wife a kiss (so sweet..lol). I'm not sure if that was part of the play but it was nice. I had to wait almost 2 years to see this play, due to Covid and we drove 2 hours, to see it and I can tell you, that it was worth the wait! :-) I loved that the play was well organized. The only thing that I would like to see different, is some type of policy put in place for the late people. It was totally a distraction. However, if you have not seen this place, I highly recommend seeing it, if it is in your city or comes to a city near you :-)
The characters chosen did an awesome job playing their roles. They looked and sound like the actors and actress in the original movie. Da Brat set it off, she wss hilarious 🤣 Overrall great stage play! Must see!!!
The stage set, the acting, every part of the play was good especially the car scene. Da Brats performance was great, she was funny and when she rapped she made the crowd go wild. Can't wait to see his next play "New Jack City"!
The play was great. My husband and I enjoyed it. Da Brat and Vanessa Simmons were awesome and made the play. Judy should've be Ursula.
Congratulations to Je’Cayrous Johnson and your stage play production of Set It Off. Your staff did an amazing job!! Set It Off is one of my favorite love stories:))
I really enjoyed this Stage Play. Da Brat is hilarious! Music and acting was great. Two thumbs up!!!
The twists in it was good, kept us laughing da brat tho absolutely love love love her she did amazing as Cleo l
This was a great show. It was funny and entertaining. I want to see it again!!
The cast was well picked and well played. I loved that there were not long pauses during scenes, making the length of the play perfect. The Brat did a phenomenal job! The directing was Awesome! Even the refreshments were reasonably priced. Excellence all around 5 stars!!
The show was fantastic from start to finish. They had an All-Star cast and great props. I especially liked the part when they had the lowrider come out. It is a must see show, you will not be disappointed.
DaBrat made the show enjoyable. Vanessa was great as well. Needed more props and actors for some scenes. Maybe add some singing or dancing, was a little boring.
This play was amazing! It was as close to the movie as I expected it to be! The cast was phenomenal! I love love Je’Caryous Johnson’s productions and can’t wait to see more!!!!
Drive 3 hours to see this play and I was not let down!! Each character brought something different to play! I can’t wait to see NJC in 2022.
The cast was phenomenal & Da Brat played her part! I was hoping to Keisha Knight Pulliam too, but it was still a great show! I highly recommend!
This production was great! From the introduction, the lighting, the funny lines, DaBrat rapping , and all the way down to the end of the show. IT WAS AWESOME! Can’t wait to see another Je’Caryous Johnson Production. #BlackExcellence
Great performance from all acting parties, and well organized.
This was my first stage play and I really enjoyed myself. Everything was perfect!
