Obviously none of us will know for sure until we actually see him, but I have my doubts. Sure, Puff was alright in Monster's Ball, but Walter in Raisin in the Sun is a serious dramatic role, not just the thug playa whatever that P Diddy tries to portray in his real life and his film roles. And he seems pretty comfortable in it. So if that's a reflection of how Walter's going to be played, I'm a little frightened. IMHO, of course. :)

Somebody needs to loosen up a few dollars for better publicity. The black and white ad in the New York Times just has Audra McDonald, Sean Combs, Sanaa Lathan & Phylicia Rashad staring at the camera. Not very interesting or effective.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I received a discount offer on this play in today's mail.
