Joe Turner's Come and Gone, a play by August Wilson. Presented by the Lincoln Center Theater at the David Belasco Theatre, directed by Bartlett Sher. "Joe Turner's Come and Gone" is an American masterwork, every sentence, every word is perfect in this powerful saga about the residents of a black boarding house in Pittsburg in 1911. In the sure hands of Bartlett Sher, Joe Turner's Come and Gone rises to heights rarely seen on Broadway, especially this year in a season of one shallow star vehicle after another. Chad L. Coleman is a powerhouse Harold Loomis, he gives his all, shouting himself hoarse, in an idiosyncratic performance that will probably have critics divided - love him or hate him. We loved him and so did the audience on the night we saw this preview. Perhaps he's still working out the role. The rest of the cast is brilliant with Ernie Hudson a warm befuddled Seth Holly, his wife played wisely by La Tanya Richardson Jackson; a fantastic turn by Roger Robinson as the magical Bynum Walker and a breakthrough performance by the juvenile Amari Rose Leigh as Zonia, the daughter of Loomis. The set by Michael Yeargen is superb, the swirling background changes from smoky Pittsburgh steel plants to the swirling heavens of a mystical Ryder painting. Lots of Tony nominations and a few likely winners will come out of this production. This is an unforgettable night in the theater. Broadway Bridge and Tunnel Test Grade A+
