A MUST SEE

All the actors were excellent and worked together superbly. The only problem was the guy behind me laughing so loud I couldn't hear the next line. Laugh quietly if possible :):)

OUTSTANDING!

The play was OUTSTANDING! I laughed, I cried, I recited some of the lines along with the performers. Denzel was an excellent choice to play Walter Lee and LaTonya Richardson-Jackson was an excellent choice to play Lena. I could not visualize Diahann Carole as Lena, too proper speaking. It's almost like someone reciting "In the Mornin" by Paul Laurence Dunbar who does not possess a down home dialect, Lol. The director, Kenny Leon gave me his autograph and he was EXTREMELY humble and polite as well as Mrs. LaTonya Richardson-Jackson who gave me an autograph the next day when I went back to the theater hoping to get Denzel's autograph, which I'm told he does not sign autographs before the performance. But I got a glimpse of him as he swiftly got out the the car and walked into the open door next to the theater. I LOVED, LOVED the play and Lorraine Hansberry is smiling down on the cast from heaven and saying "Well Done".

You won't be disappointed !

The cast did an amazing job! Denzel 's performance was outstanding. after seeing the play once before , this time definitely topped the first time. If you buy a ticket you won't be disappointed. It's like seeing him act in a movie but in real life . The other cast members did a great job also. The play is a must see.

Lorraine Hansbery is smiling!

Denzel's Greatest Fan from New York, New York
3rd April 2014

An overall great performance. The cast was exceptional. I knew the work of most of the actors and for some reason seeing them perform live made A Raisin in the Sun their best work yet . I am a huge Denzel fan and I appreciated the fact that he allowed the other actors to shine. The story line applies to any family in present times regardless to race or socio-economic status. What's happens to a dream deferred?

Amazing!!!

This was truly the best show I've been to. Denzel and the rest of the cast was simply electrifying.

Outstanding Performance in a Brilliant Broadway Play

What a treat it was to see Denzel Washington performing live on stage. I had to pinch myself at the privilege. What was amazing, was that he didn't outshine the other cast members. They were equally as brilliant and made up a powerful broadway ensemble. The story was real, touching and emotionally charged. Instead of it dragging you down and being too heavy, the acting and the humor kept it alive. This was one of the best broadway shows I have seen. If you can get tickets, hurry up, they are selling fast and you'll be sorry if you miss this one.
