This play was good, the story line was sort of predictable but overall it was very entertaining, The cast was well put together and it was worth every dime! Also very funny.
Hattie stole the show. Her character made it even more real. In today's economy, several generations are living under the same roof. Times are hard and we really don't know if this is our last day at work or in our homes if we are behind. Our children sometimes get lost in the struggle, but Hattie helped to bring them all back to reality. Most enjoyable, the singing was so hard touching. Thanks to Floyd for including the audience in the script. Keep them coming.
I went to see the play with my fiancé and we both thought it was really good. Tyler wasn't in it though, but the cast did a fantastic job nevertheless. You don't always to have Tyler in there to make it wonderful play. My fiancé wanted it to be a little more dramatic, but it was still good to both of us in the end.
Great play very funny The cast was amazing and like usual Tyler Perry play started on time make sure you early
My 15 year old son and I went to see this play in Tallahassee, FL Feb 8, 2012. We had a good time. We were able to sit on the front row, which we've never done before, and it makes you feel like you're part of the cast. You want to talk to the characters! All of the cast members were on target, but of course, Hattie stole the show! No character can compete with the character, Hattie. She is very....unique..to say the least. We laughed out loud several times. My son enjoys drama in school and church. However, kids in drama are often bullied from the jocks as being "gay" or "sissies". I wanted him to see men who are talented, smart, funny, physically fit, and having fun doing what they enjoy. The men in this play did not let us down. They are so very talented in delivery and singing, When we left I told him "think how intelligent these men and women are, to be able to remember all of those lines, and bring the words to life!" This was a good experience for both of us. Thank you for coming to Tallahassee. A 4/5 due to technical difficulties in sound.
A must see play. Floyd and Ms, Hattie are off the chain. This play is funny as heck, with the help of Floyd and Ms. Hattie, but delivers a good positive message.
All I have to say is... IT IS A MUST SEE PLAY! Great job Tyler Perry! I own all of your movies and plays, and no they are not bootleg.
I loved this play my family and I truly enjoyed this Tyler Perry production we loved Palmer Williams, Jr., he is truly hilarious. Hattie is definately a wonderful add to the show when Madea is not performing. Seats were a little small but the venue was definately nice. I was a little disappointed by not seeing Tyley at the end of the play because I am such a fan but definately well worth the money. Can't wait for the next play!!
Mannnnnnnnnn, that's all I can say! This play was AWESOME! Hattie, you are my girl. I don't know where Tyler found her at, but you did not miss God by keeping her. To the whole cast, you all was awesome and the play was worth dealing with all the people that can't seem to realize, that time is of the essence and we should STRIVE to be on time for things, rather than inconvience others while they are trying to see something they took they hard earn money to pay and see, but have to deal with late comers and them all in the way. GET IT TOGETHER MY BLACK PEOPLE!!!!!!
very good play! all actors were great! singing was good too!
Tyler Perry has done IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!! Wonderful play. My mom, sister, brotherinlaw, neice, girlfriend, partner, and myself truly enjoyed it. It has a beautiful message. The talent was outstanding. The singing stir your soul. I truly recommend ALL to see this play. No regrets.
I took a girlfriend of mine and this was her first Tyler Perry play to see. I am afraid she won't go see another one because this was a very poor representation of what he does. I will be back for the next one, but I'm sorry this was one play I don't recommend to anyone. I hope that more people won't be deterred because of this.
What a wonderful play!! The actors were fantastic - wonderfuluu singing, great story line!! First about the venue: this was my first time to the Verizon Theater. Parking is $15 (VIP is $30 - but general parking and VIP are in the same area). When you first walk in the main lobby is spacious room for a large volume of people to wait until the play starts. there's a concession area, where we ordered our drinks.. Very pricey ($15 for a vodka cranberry, $9 for draft beer), but the pour on the vodka was very good and in a fancy glass. (not just a cheap clear disposable cup). The restrooms were very clean and plenty of them, so your not waiting long if you really have to go. :) The attendants helped us to our seats (which had cup holders - cool). We were in the lower 100 section. Great view of the stage! Seats were comfortable. Now on the the Play: We were a little hesitant on going, b/c we didn't recognize some of the actors (little familar with Palmer Williams).. But all of them did a Great job! There were minimal stage set changes (I think only 2 sets) which helped the scenes flow quickly and easily. Very well designed.. It didn't look cheap (Like your just putting a sofa and tree and actors on stage). It was really a nicely built out scene set, which swiveled to the next scene. I hadn't been to a play in a long tme and I thought that the swivel concept and design was great for this play. To give you an idea, one scene had like a mini-dinng area, then the family room w/fireplace, then there was a staircase. At the top of the staircase to the left is a bedroom, to the right is a mini hallway to another room. It furnishings reflected an upscale home. The next stage set wasn't as complex, but that's b/c it reflected the (have not) home style (but had 3 separate scene areas, bedroom, fam room and mini kitchen). The story line was well thought out. Tyler Perry used the right balance of humor, drama and conflict and wonderful spiritual message that the actors helped bring to life thru their punch lines and wonderful singing. It was the right balance of singing. And the humor wasnt' that ...soo over the top - trying to make it funnier than what it is! - cause it was just really funny!! This is a storyline that many can relate to (or relate to one of the characters). What a powerful message about love, trust, respect and family values with a spritual message. Grandma Hattie was hilarious!! This is a must see play for those TP fans, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!
Just want everyone to know that this show is a MUst SEE! Fabulous singing! Very entertaining and funny! We enjoyed it tremendously and recommend it to everyone!
I got to the show a little late but I have to say that this was a funny play. The amount of singing was just right I had to catch myself when the first song was sung because I was getting ready to hit the fast forward button on my remote!! LOL no remote at the play.
Well Let me first give some advice: get ready early leave on time and be sure to give yourself enought time for parking and the such in case your venue is a madhouse for parking. THE PLAY STARTS ON TIME!!!! I went to the Chicago Sunday 3pm show Nov. 13th with pretty good floor seats and there was aslo a bears game that day so I missed the first 5-7 minutes. Luckily I was able to pick right up on the storyline. The cast all did a superb job projecting their voices. This was the 2nd TP play I've been to, and I was happy to see the singing was still off the charts!! If you are ready for church..then this will take you there both with the message and the singing. The set was nice to me, I see a fellow chicagoan review mentioned it was lacking...but I don't think it was due to the storyline itself not really requiring too many set changes. Overall there are two main places the story takes place in. I enjoyed everything and was glad to see that even though Tyler Perry wasn't in the play, it was still hilarious, and enjoyable. I saw Madea's Big Happy Family in 2010 , so if you saw that too you can expect another hot show, althought the singing was slightly better in Happy Family...this show is still very entertaining too with vocals that tug at your heartstrings... Enjoy the show folks!
Its what you would expect from a Tyler Perry production: funny characters, a spiritual message, fabulous singing, original songs and an all-star cast!! I never cease to be amazed at Tyler Perry's songwriting ability, which is seldom talked about or reported on. This production has several amazing songs sung by some amazing voices. Palmer Williams can sing? Whaaaaat? Who knew? If we keep supporting our guy he can up his stage presence with a set that cost a million dollars. Thats the only thing this was missing.... Other than Madea. Go see it!!
I was a little hesitant about seeing this play because the only person I was really familiar with was Palmer Williams....but my daughter (12) and I are huge fans of anything Tyler Perry does, so we went. I'm So Glad We Did! It was AMAZING! Palmer was great...as usual. He is so at ease on stage and makes it all so believable! "Grandma Hattie" was hysterical and an unforgettable character. I laughed til I cried...but also had several moments when I "teared up" because of the spiritual power behind the veil of the "performance." Please Go!! It is a MUST SEE!!! You will not leave disappointed.
Plays and movies by Tyler Perry are my favorite! I loved every moment of this play...the acting, singing, and storyline. Everything about it is so real and people can relate to it. The actors and the story line was phenomenal! I can't wait to attend another one! Job well done!
