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!"

Great Job Je'Caryous, you have did it again!!!! i've seen most of you work and you be doing your s$$t, again great job and look forward to more of it
Loved loved it the performers were awesome and the singers sound just like the original songs it was a wondering play really ENJOYED IT
Great show. Need a better location. Congestion in the parking area. Bathrooms were too small.
I loved the play. It was hilarious and I enjoyed the singing
I truly enjoyed the play. Stokely was amazing in his portrayal. He had to adjust his singing voice. He did an amazing job! I enjoyed the play from beginning to end!
It was good. Stokley did a good job as Rick. The Music was great. The Costumes were nice.
My Sistah and I had an amazing time as the scenes unfold behind the man who had a whole lot of FUNK. We laughed and danced so much because Rick James was the Life of the party. Je'Caryous done an outstanding salute of bringing Mr. Ambrose's life into view for all to see, and Stokley shut the house down by portraying Rick himself. A phenomenal combination from the staff and crew of bringing together all the Super Freaks 🤪 Loved, Loved, Loved the show! 💞💞💞
Excellent performance. I recommend you catch this if it comes to your city you will not be disappointed.
This musical biopic was everything and more. Stokely Williams did such an amazing job betraying Rick James! It’s like how are you that good at playing another person! There’s so much to say, the entire cast was great, singing, dancing, backgrounds, costumes and more! So raw and real it felt like I was living in those times as I was so engaged and it just felt so real! Please go see it!! Worth every dime and more!!
