@Spook: I dislike you and I still have your back on this one. It reminds me of "48 Hours". I call Eddie Murphy.

I mean actually I read the book, which is why I say what I say

Do you know what the show was about?

Nope. Caught the connection. My point was that if the attendance of someone like him sways you from going to see a show, then you shouldn't go anywhere in Chicagoland because he has been seen (and invited) nearly everywhere around town.

James, there ARE rumors about the production sitting down in Chicago. But even if that happens, the trio of Bayardelle, Fields, and Williams will most likely follow the tour. I think the crowds are NEVER going to die town on this one, and I think the three powerhouses of the show aren't to be missed. And Spook, R. Kelly visits absolutely everywhere in this town, so you'd best stay away from all businesses and all public areas in the greater Chicagoland area.

i'd really like to see 'purple,' but as someone who doesn't like to see movies the first couple weeks they play, i'd like to wait and see if the crowds die down a bit. you don't really think it's only going to be here thru july, do you?

Some about her invite to R. Kelly means I would not go near that production
