Just got home from seeing the first performance of this show and I have to say it's been quite a while since two actors have so completely wowed me. Daphne Rubin-Vega & Malik Yoba gave two of the most raw and honest performances I can remember seeing in the theatre, maybe ever.
I am unfamiliar with Yoba's work but after tonight he made a fan out of me for life. He's so completely natural on stage (as is Rubin-Vega) that seeing this show is like you're eavesdropping on a private conversation and at times you really feel as if you shouldn't be there it's just that private. (Each actor had real tears streaming down their faces tonight and Vega even had trouble breathing at one point she was sobbing so hard).
This is only playing for a month or so I believe, so if you have a chance to see it, GO!!! I doubt you'll be dissapointed.
