Overall, Sistas is a fun, family-friendly hour of life lessons told through songs that reflect the highs and lows of being Black in America generally and Black womanhood specifically. It’s also a showcase for some of the best music of the past century.
“Sistas was an Amazing Production! I enjoyed the song choices as much as I loved the story. It tells a story that a lot of African American women can relate to. Not only was it full of information, it was hilarious. Anybody can relate to this play. Definitely something I would see again.
The 90-minute show covers everything from segregation to the women’s movement to the meaning of love and control.
What do you get when you combine five powerful singers, one great story and lots of hit music? You get a new hit Off-Broadway musical called “SISTAS”. And fortunately, I recently had the opportunity to see the show in New York City.
One of the most gratifying aspects of the musical is that although it is an all female cast the musical does not bash men! This makes it a perfect date night.
The side-splitting fun play is written by Dorothy Marcic (writer of Respect: The Musical, which has played in 20 cities), and stunningly directed by Kenneth Ferrone. All members of the play’s production team know a thing or two about successful musicals having all been involved in many hit musicals. They can now add this play to their winning trophy case.
Playwright Dorothy Marcic found a perfect way to bring all of these songs together into a story that demands your attention. As the female members of a family gather to go through the attic of their deceased great-grandmother, they tell stories of the past and discover materials that she left behind that divulge more information about what Black women have endured.
Broadway community’s most respected musical star debuted his first inspirational single, “When I Walk,” and later introduced cast members from his latest off Broadway production, “Sistas.”
The overwhelming consensus was that everyone loved the play and could not wait to get their buzz on.
