The Trip of a Lifetime

My sister and I were surprised to have received three tickets from a dear friend of ours to see The Trip To Bountiful on Broadway in NYC. This exciting Broadway show stars Tony Award Winner Cicely Tyson (Carrie Watts), Vanessa Williams (Jessie Mae Watts), Leon Addison Brown( Ludie Watts), and Adepero Oduye (Young Woman on Bus). 

The acting, dancing, and singing by Cicely Tyson was phenomenal. The banter between Tyson's and William's characters was pure comedic. Mr Brown, who recently replaced Cuba Gooding, Jr. as Ludie, was mesmerizing to watch. His face expressions of the various emotions he displayed were touching. Adepero was a pleasure to watch on stage as well.

My aunt who has lived in NYC for 40+ years has never attended a Broadway play. She is now open to attend another Broadway Play. It has been my sister Sharee and I third Broadway play. We have previously seen Chicago in 2003 & The Mountaintop, starring Angela Bassett and Samuel L Jackson, in 2012. 

The Trip To Bountiful plays through October 9, 2013
