Cast did a great job for the size of production. Performance met my expectation. Didn't expect crowd participation though! Funk Brothers Band (stand-ins) were great too!
This an excellent play! I'm glad I was able to see it before it ended.
The play was so hot. The guy that played Marvin Gaye, Rashawn Thompson, did an excellent job and the guy who played his father, Donald Barnes was so good people in the audience were booing him because of his depiction of the abuse Marvin's father was said to have put upon the family as a whole. The songs and the band was absolutely fabulous!!! I really enjoyed the show. Rashawn also was good in the Jackie Wilson Story as well as Melainie Mccloullough who played Tammi Terrell and Janis Gaye.
The show was well done and riveting to the end! The acting was phenomenal!
The performance was excellent. The singing and acting was phenomenal. I loved this play
Can't say enough about the performers! I'll be back for more!!!
The singing was awesome and so was the story line. I can't wait for the movie ;)
The play was cool. I expected a little more though. I wasn't blown away, but I did learn a lot about his life. A lot of singing, too less of acting. That's just my opinion though.
Loved it. Marvins mama was exceptional and Marvin was terrific
This is a must see show great acting, singing and story that makes you want to get up and shout.
It was so amazing how well the play was put together. All the actors and actress played their part well. I enjoyed the entire play. I especially enjoyed Rashawn Thompson as Marvin Gaye his singing and his moves was just like Marvin. Yahdina U-Dean as Alberta Gaye she brought tears to my eyes at the end of the play. I was in Chicago for my vacation. I'm from Michigan and I would like to know if The Marvin Gaye Story will be coming to Detroit? I have been telling everyone I know about the play. I want to Thank Jackie Taylor for this wonderful production. Please let me know when are you coming to Michigan.
This play was excellent. The comprehensive story line captured Marvin Gaye's incredible life and went a step further to impress the importance of learning from the tragic events. They are life's lessons which when applied benefit everyone.
I loved everything about the play, the acting, music, the quality of information received about his life and the play's atmosphere was very intimate. I felt very connected to the play because the actors did a great job of drawing you in. The actor that played Marvin may not have looked similar to the real Marvin Gaye but he had his demeanor and mannerisms down pat!
Music is always good. Performance lacked inspiration. Best solo was by Marvin's mother.
If you missed this show, you truly missed an amazing display of talent. The actors and actresses were phenomenal, they put their souls into this performance! It was well done and I know it made Marvin Gaye's family proud. I believe the spirit of Marvin Gaye penetrated the soul and psyche of the actors that played him and his mother! Outstanding!
Excellent entertainment. The singing, acting and the production were spectacular! I would go see it again.
i really loved the characters...marvin YES....mom PUT IT DOWN...every one was good
It was informative and hopeful at the same time. The songs were woven in very well to make the play flow and satisfy my wanting to hear his songs.
The show was at least 30 minutes too long and the acting of the Mother was overwrought. Learned a lot about Marvin Gaye's dysfunctional life and his father who was portrayed as basically a monster.
AS ALWAYS THE BLACK ENSEMBLE HIT THE CHARTS... ALL THE SHOWS HAVE GREAT MUSIC BUT THIS TIME MS. TAYLOR OUTDID HERSELF IN WRITING THE STORY...
