From the opening overture to the grand finale, Josephine Tonight was alive with soul stirring and feet tapping energy. A couple of times I wanted to get up and do the Charleston. The cast is extremely talented and versatile. The entire performance had all the elements of a show destined for Broadway. The dancing was highly skilled and a visual delight and the singing was amazing only enhanced by the incredible lyrics and wonderful music. Maurice Hines has created an artistic masterpiece that I'm sure "La Baker" herself would be proud to star in if she were alive today. An enthusiastic Bravo to the cast and a great big Thanks to Metro Stage for bringing a show of this caliber to the D.C. area.

Josephine Tonight was absolutely amazing! The young lady who portrayed Ms. Baker did very well in her role (yea, Howard University!), as did the other cast members in their multiple roles. I laughed, I cried, I loved it. I look forward to many more performances at Metrostage.
