..I appreciated the stage work of the production. The movement of the characters and use of the props to help set the location and feel of the scenes.
The singing voices were awesome.
What I didn't like
Though, I was near the stage (two rows away from the stage), I struggled to hear a lot of the dialog of the characters and the offstage narrator.
A few sound effects, would brighten and drive some moments; for example, when the characters play guitar or the sound (the preacher character wants to silence) coming from the tape recorder.
My overall impression
A complete and relatable story -a gospel singer/ musician turned rock singer abused as a child, struggles to have a successful career and a happy life, while negotiating the dark mire that is the music business – reminiscent of the play and movie “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom Blues”
