"The Marriage Counselor"

Back in February I wrote a post about going to see Tyler Perry's "The Marriage Counselor", well yesterday was the day of the show and I have to say that there is nothing better than seeing it live! I have been a fan of his since day one and I have seen every play, movie and sitcom episode that he has done. When his movies come to the theater I make sure that I go, and I don't purchase them on bootleg. Every time he comes out with a new project it gets better and better, my sister and I laughed so hard with this play!

It was "OUTSTANDING," we loved it and the cast was incredible!The only thing missing was a personal appearance from Mr.Perry I recently saw him on Oprah and I can tell that he is a humble man from humble beginnings but also has not forgotten where he came from.

Bringing the play here means so much, because Las Vegas is often thought of just a place of sin, gambling, and drinking, not to mention other negative persona's. It helped to remind those of us who love and live in SIN CITY that someone realizes that there are people here who want to see and experience a great play, and I thank him for that.

Yeah! My tickets finally arrived!!!!

I ordered tickets online a couple of weeks ago for Tyler Perry's
"The Marriage Counselor"













They finally arrived today! I am so excited! My sister and I are going to see it at Planet Hollywood on the 7th of March, and I was able to get really great seats.

I have been trying not to read or watch anything about it but I was really excited when I came across this by Sue Merrell @ The Grand Rapids Press:

"The Marriage Counselor," the 10th play of urban playwright Tyler Perry.

In the two-and-a-half hour play, marriage counselor Judith Jackson (Tamar Davis) and her accountant husband Roger (Tony Grant) are having marriage difficulties of their own. Roger works too much, Judith spends too much, and the bills are piling up. Roger's father (Williams) and Judith's mother (Grayson) are living with them and constantly squabbling. Judith escapes to the arms of a former boyfriend (Timon Kyle Durrett.) Judith's secretary (Stephanie Ferrett) adds to the comedy with her in-your-face attitude.

"(Perry) has a captive audience and he takes the opportunity to lift up the community," she said.

The show opened with a medley of gospel songs. In Act II a group counseling session turned into a songfest of "old school" songs such as "Love and Happiness" and "For the Love of You," complete with disco lighting. But most of the show's roof-raising, soul-stirring songs are originals penned by Perry and Elvin Ross. A live five-piece band provided accompaniment and background music as the set revolved to three possible settings.

I cant wait! Tyler Perry here I come!!!!!! ( If you want to read more of Ms. Merell's article click my link above) I wonder if he need's any scented container candles? LOL:)
