Of course I wanted Ifemelu to be happy, but I did not expect for her to win the prize... It was like getting what you wanted but not sure you really wanted it.

Thank you so much for the link to the Broadway archive video. I love Alfre Woodard and Lyn Whitfield. My favorite character from TP's film was definitely Loretta Devine's lady in green she and Anika Noni Rose tore their roles up. I'll have to watch Broadway stage production.I'm now a fan of Shange's play after watching the TP video and would love to see a live production of it as well.Adirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556732863955364190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3351676224476608573.post-62961222739005478242013-05-17T01:14:16.672-04:002013-05-17T01:14:16.672-04:00LOL!

I agree with you. It helps to see it visually to get the full impact. I watched the Broadway Theatre Archive performance on DVD (http://ow.ly/l7rkb) featuring Alfre Woodard and Lynn Whitfield. Then I watched the Tyler Perry version. Although it was a bit dated, the Broadway Theatre Archive version drove home the choreopoem concept for me more so than the TP version (which I also liked). I would love to see this choreopoem performed on stage. Tallulah A.

Most of your readers probably (and in the future) would want to have help in decided whether this book was for them. This is especially the case when you review ARCs.
