Oh man, so I bet that you didn’t know that before there was Degeneration X, there was The Clique! The group included Shawn Michaels a.k.a. the HBK, Kevin Nash, Paul Levesque (HHH), Scott Hall (Razor Ramon) and Sean Waltman (X-Pac).

All I’ve got to say is, they don’t make ‘em like this anymore.

Recently, my siblings and I were strapped with ideas on what to get my mom for Christmas. By chance, around Thanksgiving, I saw that she received a flyer for Porgy and Bess on Broadway.

Basically, we grew up listening to my mom sing this musical around the house. When you’re a kid and your mom just starts yelling about living on Catfish Row…you can imagine one would be rather confused. But over the years, I guess we grew to appreciate the musical…So, we decided to get her tickets to see the play on Broadway. She is pretty excited about it.

I was just as excited when my sister surprised Russell and I with tickets to see Stick Fly. I had recalled hearing something about the play one morning on New York One, and I knew that it was produced by Alicia Keys…What I did not know was that it had a star-studded cast including Mekhi Phifer (Soul Food, 8 Mile, Dawn of the Dead) Dule Hill (USA’s Psych), veteran actor Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Condola Rashad (Phylicia and Ahmad Rashad’s daughter) and more note-worthy actors and actresses.

I won’t give the story away, but it includes family drama, racial, social and economic debates, and it inspires truth and honor.

I’m honestly not a huge fan of plays or live performances, but Stick Fly grabbed my attention from beginning to end. Alicia Keys did a wonderful job with the music and the cast is made up of a truly talented group of actors.

If you’re also running up dry for gift ideas (for a birthday or even for the steadily approaching Valentine’s Day), don’t rule out purchasing some tickets to a Broadway play. Broadway Week is also coming up, so you can snag some 2 for 1 deals too.
