Momma's Boy Monologue

Musical theater is one of my favorite genres. I have been anxiously waiting for, Priest Tyaire Presents Momma’s Boy. The auditorium was sold out. Previously, I’ve seen Priest Tyaire stage plays in Washington, DC. Momma’s Boy had an awesome cast starring Priest Tyaire, Shirley Murdock, Nephew Tommy, Jackeé Harry, Gary Lil G Jenkins, Anthony Brown, Thomas Harris, Camille Forest, Anthony Dupree, Chris Bolton, and my favorite Johnny Gill. The only artists that I have previously seen live were Priest Tyaire and Johnny Gill. Aaron (Priest Tyaire) is the main character a police officer whose mother, Mary (Shirley Murdock) lives with him and does everything for him. Aaron’s ex-wife and the mother of his son A.J. (Anthony Dupree), is
Aaron and Autumn dated for a year when she fell behind on her mortgage and risked foreclosure, Aaron invited her and her two sons to move in with him. Nevertheless, Autumn failed to reveal to him that her boys are not children and that they are adults, furthermore Aaron neglected to inform Autumn that his mother lived in the house. While trying to settle into Aaron’s home, Kevin continued to pop up confessing his love to Autumn trying to get her back. One of her sons was a drug dealer and the other son was a stripper. Meanwhile, Ms. Mary did all of his cooking, laundry, and cleaning. She constantly refused to allow any woman to enter her kitchen or do anything for her son; there was not a woman in the world that was good enough for her son. However, when Autumn did things for her sons, Aaron had an objection. He will like for Autumn to allow her sons to become their own man and do things for themselves. Despite the fact that Aaron was trying to teach Autumn’s boys how to become independent, he himself depended on his
Mary caused Aaron and Autumn to bump heads. Finally, Autumn had enough and prepared to move out. The suspense throughout the play and various characters was awesome. Overall, Momma’s Boys was an excellent play. The stage crew quickly changed scenes with little to no wait time. Each act was full of enthusiasm. During the play, Priest Tyaire was trying to teach a lesson on manhood and not throwing your life away. Throughout each scene performed by Nephew Tommy was full of comedy. Attending Priest Tyaire productions are always a pleasure. The musical selections throughout the play included gospel and R&B. Shirley Murdock sang her classic hit As We Lay. When Johnny Gill sang My, My, My to his ex-wife the crowd went wild. Although, I was unfamiliar with the vocal skills of Anthony Brown and Chris Bolton they each performed as if they were the only ones on stage. When Chris Bolton performed, he was able to imitate big Luther Vandross. Once Anthony Brown began to sing, he took us straight to the church choir. If I were able to I would watch this play again. I cannot wait until Priest Tyaire’s next
