Big Daddy Kane He’s starring in the stage production of “New Jack City” — which he says he’s touring now… and which will host the cult classic director in due course.
We got the New York rap legend this week… as our photographer snapped it up with BDK about Je’Caryous Johnson’s ‘NJC Live on Stage’ – a Broadway-like revue that brings the movie to life in front of audiences all these years later.
Waiting for your permission to download Facebook video.
Check out the clip, because Kane’s got some great ideas for us — including this actor’s reality Allen Payne (who played Gee Money in OG) is reprising his role in this new cast!
Not only that, but Ken says Mario Van Peebles – Who directed New Jack City, and also acted in it as the cop who’s out for the drop Wesley SnipesOperation—they’ll be coming to see the show when they come to the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles in late January.
The important reason — other than the fact that it’s so cool to host the MVP of all — is that Big Daddy is actually playing his character from the movie… AKA, Stone. Ken says Mario is swinging by to take it all in, and maybe even give him some performance feedback.
Oh I have to wonder if Wesley himself caught the play’s attention and if he was curious to catch a glimpse of it. He hasn’t said anything about it, from what we can tell, on social media yet.
“New Jack’s Town” in town January 20-22, and Tickets are on sale Currently.
