The stage bursts to life in the gritty streets of Buffalo, the backdrop for the arrival of the King of Punk Funk, Mr. Rick James.
Standing 5'11" with his iconic braids and leather-clad body, Rick's flamboyant and unruly stage persona takes center stage. Super Freak: The Rick James Story" brings Rick James' turbulent life to the stage, creating a musical extravaganza that immerses the audience in a vibrant and sensual showcase of his popular hits such as "Give It to Me Baby," "Mary Jane," and "Super Freak."
Beyond the glittering facade, the musical explores the layers of Rick's internal struggles and insane lifestyle filled with sex, drugs, and music. "Super Freak: The Rick James Story" captures the essence of a musical icon, leaving audiences with an unforgettable experience and the resounding declaration, "He's Rick James, Bitch!"
This show was awesome. I had a great time with the ticket my son gave me for my birthday.
The co-writer was not invited to the premiere because the promoter assumed her credit. Dr. Troy Byer was/is being done a public disservice by a lecherous man sullying Stokely’s extremely adept performance.
It was really good/ Excellent.. All the performers did excellent and it was kind of educational for stuff that I did not know even though it was just a little piece of his life I was able to put it together.
I truly enjoyed this play! Stokley did his thing! The show was definitely a history lesson.. the producers including his daughter did a great job at showcasing Ricky James! ??
Loved the play from beginning to end. Great actors and actresses. I learned somethings I never knew about Ricky James. The actors were all really good but the adult Rick James really made me think I was truly watching The Legend Himself. A must see production
I had a fabulous ???? time. Even though we had a few hiccups with audio. It was fixed and I really enjoyed the show .
The play was great. It was interesting, great singing, dancing and acting. I highly recommend it. However, I was truly disappointed with the fact that they were selling the playbill for $10. I paid $250 for 2 tickets and now you want money for the playbill, that was ridiculous. I've been to many many plays and I've never been charged for a playbill, that was extremely disappointing.
Energetic musical about the life of Rick James. Beautiful production by JeCaryous. Great singing and performances by the entire cast! JeCaryous did it again!
Good music and singing. The play was a little too long. Could have bee.n 2 hours max.
I was so entertained the music, dancing and the singing was great. I learned things about Rick James that I never knew. If you are a Super Freak I recommend this show.
