BLACK

I was blessed last night to be in the audience for Colman Domingo's, curated, Joe's Pub concert, BLACK.  The cast included the superstar talents of , Chester Gregory (Sister Act), Christian Dante White (The Scottsboro Boys) , Julius Thomas III (Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess), and Curtis Wiley (Nat’l Tour of The Lion King) with musical direction from Jon Spurney (Passing Strange).

Dem boys SANG.  Talk about acting a fool.  Slides started the show announcing the cast with images of Black men and then the text, "Thunderous applause," followed by, "Y'all ain't ready."  And we weren't.  It turned into a big party with love as a central theme, but reminiscing of slow drag songs, and family reunions played a big part.

"Change is gonna Come," -Curtis Wiley, "Someone to Love," -Chester Gregory killed me, and "Song for you." brought tears to my eyes.  Whew!! What a blessing, and Thank you Gentleman, Brothers, all for your performances last night.
