Don't ever say I never hooked you up. Not sure when the city implemented this, but Broadway Week seems like a great opportunity to get some culture in your life. Go here for more information. – YG (@youngglobal)
This week we celebrated the birthday of a truly iconoclastic individual whose passion and audacity to dream of a better world for people from all walks of life still echoes in the minds and hearts of millions. Dr. Martin Luther King was a man on a mission to create social and economic parity for individuals of all social standing. The celebration of his birthday is truly fitting with the play on Broadway loosely based on his life entitled The Mountaintop.
The Mountaintop, written by Katori Hall, stars Hollywood titans Samuel L. Jackson (as Dr. King) and Angela Bassett. Directed by Kenny Leon (Fences, A Raisin in the Sun), The Mountaintop is a riveting re-imagination of the events that occurred the night before Dr. King's assassination. The play offers a dynamic point of view of Dr King the man and not just the preacher or civil rights leader. Katori Hall does a fantastic job of showing us the humane side of a man who in many eyes is a saint, but in reality was a man with hopes, fears and dreams like the rest of us.
Samuel Jackson and Angela Bassett do a phenomenal job of bringing this play to life providing an raw and honest portrayal of a man who just wanted to make a difference in the world. Audiences will thoroughly enjoy the twist and turns present in this play that allow it to take on a life if its own. This week is the last week of that The Mountaintop will be playing on Broadway at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in New York. Make sure you check it out, you won't regret it.
