Acclaimed writer/director/producer, Je’Caryous Johnson is back bringing another favorite cult classic from the screen to the stage with his latest hit, New Jack City Live. Some people got to have it! Some people really need it! But ultimately, everyone must experience the unique yet innovative depiction of the journey of the infamous Nino Brown, a drug lord, who, when caught in the crossfires of the dangerous drug game, must decide what’s most important: friendship, money, or total domination. Balancing betrayal between friends, lovers, and ultimately generational hardships, this riveting rendition of the time-honored movie will have everyone leaving the theatre wondering “Am I my brother’s keeper?”. Set to the soundtrack of some of the most classic songs from the film, New Jack City Live will give audiences across the nation the opportunity to experience a classical theatre retelling of their favorite 90s movie that can only be experienced the Je’Caryous way…live on stage.

NEW JACK CITY LIVE stars critically acclaimed actor Allen Payne, who will be reprising his role from the film, as “Gee Money,” legendary rapper and lead singer of the iconic rap group Naughty By Nature, “Treach” as “Nino Brown,” legendary rapper Big Daddy Kane as “Stone” and actor and star of one of TV’s classic hit shows One on One, Flex Alexander as “Pookie.”
