Tyler Perry and Madea to Return to the New York Stage

Tyler Perry and his signature creation, Madea, will return to the New York stage this fall for a seven-performance stint in Tyler Perry's Medea on the Run at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn. The production will play November 19-22.

In trouble with the local authorities, Mabel Simmons, notoriously known as Madea, is on the run from the law. With no place to turn, she volunteers to move in with her friend Bam, who is recovering from hip-replacement surgery. Bam is so grateful that her faithful friend Mabel is putting her on life on hold in order to nurse her back to health. Unknown to Bam however, Madea is only using the concerned-friend gag as a way to hide out from the police.

Perry, who also wrote the play's script and music, stars as Madea, alongside Cassi Davis as Bam. The production also features Tony Hightower, Maurice Lauchner, Rhonda Davis, David Stewart Jr., Latoya London, Claudette Ortiz, Judith Franklin, and Dorsey Levens.
