Buy Tickets to for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf5 / 10
The play comes across, unfortunately, as an antiquated time machine that's at odds with the current conversation. Being a glimpse into a specific, different era would be OK - plenty of revivals fit that bill - but 'for colored girls' seems awfully intent on speaking forcefully to the present moment. A strong connection to today, however, is nowhere to be found.
10 / 10
Brown's staging is so attuned to the words and cadences of Shange's choreopoem, yet so confident in its own interpretive vision, that the characters blossom into their full vibrancy. If you've never thought of 'For Colored Girls' as a funny show, be prepared for Brown's seven splendid performers to persuade you otherwise. They will also pierce your heart, because this production does not shy from the emotional and existential lows that coexist with the play's highs.
