The Nativity + Congo Square Theatre. Catch it While You Can.

By Patrice Perkins, December 26, 2011 - (0) Comments

Last week, I finally saw Congo Square Theatre's production of The Nativity at Goodman Theatre. I say finally, because the production has run during the entire month of December...the busiest month of the year for yours truly. The production is not to be missed. I laughed and cried during this emotion-filled adaptation of Langston Hughes' Black Nativity. I don't like to give too much, so I will share my top three fave parts of the musical, beyond the music and modern dance of course.

1. King Herod and The Three Kings during "You Ought to Try the Lord"

2. "I Have Faith" performed by Athaliah and Johasheba

3. "Mary What's the Matter" by Johasheba and the women

I am returning with my mom and my sis, to check The Nativity a second time. Yep, it's just that good. I highly recommend that you drop whatever it was that you had planned and purchase last minute tickets for the show.
