I was stunned when the guy who played as the postal worker came to me & my girlfriend and asked us if we wanted to be in the play as part of the house party scene, I thought it was a joke until he took us behind the stage where we got our what to do instructions, I always wanted to do plays but didn't take theatre in school, only did it in elementary school. I went to the 7:30pm show on Mothers day. It was a nice play but the turn out wasn't great.

The play was awful! I took my mother as a surprise and it was very disappointing. The cast who was supposed to be in the play was not. The sound was bad the acting was bad. At the intermission we left and so did a lot of other people. I wanted my money back but of course there is no refund. What a waste of money. Could have taken my Mom to a movie and dinner and came out better.

The play was horrible.... So, very disappointing! I love supporting artists of all avenues but they have to produce quality and this play lacked any. None of the big name celebrities was in the play as the advertised. Acting was garbage!

This is the worst play I ever attended and I will not attend any other Michael Matthew plays. I was looking forward to seeing Big Daddy Kane, Christopher Martin and the other headliners however the only person that showed was Jackee. Throughout the play they had problems with the audio where you couldn't here what they were saying. One cast member did attempt to ad lib to accommodate. The only explanation I got for the cast members being gone was I was still getting a message out the play. I wasted my money never again.

This was the worse play I ever seen in my entire life. None of the main actors were present. Poor sound, I barely hear what was going on and some scenes were confusing. I will never attend another play director by Michael Mattews.

I have never been to a play by this writer and I will never go again. The actors were great but the material was to redunant and I was ready to leave before the completion of the first act. The theatre was not even half way full so the sound was too loud. The sound should have been adjusted to fit the audience.

Some of the performers were not in attendance. I thought Jackee had a major role and she didn't. The other characters looked like somebody off the street corners of downtown Portsmouth.

I've been to several plays throughout the "757" area and never have I seen one this bad! I later spoke with co-workers who also attended the same night but sat in different areas and they had the same reaction. The sound was horrible and most of the acting was also. Most of the time you can expect the big name actors not to show, but this had very little to do with the play itself. I've been to other plays where there were no big name actors and it still ended up being a great play!

I thought the play was awful. We were looking forward to seeing some of the actors/performers advertised (I.e. Ginuwine, Big Daddy Kane, etc) but to our disappointment none of the artists were in the play. I thought the storyline was very similar to a play I saw several years ago.

This play was basically the same as the other black plays that come to town. Same thing, different title. I could barely watch the play due to the ushers letting people come in all throughout the play. I was constantly standing up to let people walk by who came in late.

First Ginuwine and and some other star werent there, at was the purpose for me purchasing tickets. Invited someone from NC to come all the way to see this play that I think High School students could have done better. Micros werent working it was just horrible. Anything with the name Michael Mattews I will not waste my time again.

It was the worse play I've ever been to. It was promoted that Ginuwine and Big Daddy Kane were going to be there and they were NOT. Hugely disappointed! Ginuwine went on Twitter and said he was not supposed to be in that play so I think that was awful that we were lied to. I will never go to another play put on by Michael Matthews.

This play was presented horribly. The actors were pretty good which is the only reason that I gave it two stars. The woman who sang the last song in the first act was incredibly talented. However, the lyrics to that song could have been written by a 2nd grader. Unbelievably bad.

This play is billed as a comedy..but then becomes about drug use and physical abuse and there is even a shooting. Not funny at all.

Finally, many of the mics were not working, the gunshot noise was made three times before the gun was actually shot, people with working mics could be heard saying...is his mic on? backstage. The entire production was amatuerish.

The headlining actors were not actually IN the play; Ginuwine wasn't even there. The sound was horrible, the acting was terrible and the storyline was lackluster. Too bad I couldn't get my money back!

I believe the play was to emphasize that the only man a woman needs in her life is God. That concept was good but how that point was made and how they got to the point was terrible. I was ready to go before the first act was over. It was a pure waste of my time and more importantly, my money.

I think the play could have been much better. The characters were ok. The main stars were not there which was a big disappointment. The play was weak in story line. I go to many plays and this one just wasn't that good.

The overall play was good but the key actors like Big Daddy Kane and Ginuwine did not show up. They were the reasons that I opted to attend. Then they started an 45 minutes late
