My Take:
Me being ‘The Official #TwitterPartyDJ’ it’s in
part because I’m really always thinking music, if I had to give you a song to
describe this play it would be Beyonce’s Run The World (Girls), much because
this play, like the song, is part rally cry, and total empowerment with a young,
vibrant, and passionate edge to it.
Each member of this cast put in an incredibly
strong performance, powerful, raw and poignant. This isn’t one of those ‘fun
time’ musicals, the subject matter is heavy make no mistake about it, it
addresses so many stages in the transition from young woman to adult with the
complexities and questions that come with that transition. Ultimately you leave
feeling transformed, and hopefully with the desire to truly empower the young
women in your life and community.
It's also a great play for mothers and daughters to see together, I saw it with Mama Butterfly, and while I'm well past my teen years, it definitely gave us quite a bit to talk about, and if you are a mom of a teenager, this is definitely a play you should see together. (I'm thinking a nice break in the midst of the insanity that is holiday shopping in New York City!)
