Myrtle: Family reunions are about uniting the family, bringing together the young and old. Singing and dancing and thanking God, giving him the glory. Thanking him for getting us over. As we marched up the road this afternoon, what we saw were young men gambling, fighting, cussing. Women with no clothes on gyrating all over on this land. Do you see this shack. The man and woman we were born here gave birth to this generation. They were slaves. They worked this ground, but they bought it from the widow of the slave owner and that's the kind of blood we have running though our veins. That's the stock we are made of. What happened to us. What happened to us. Who are you. Do you know who you are. What happened to the pride and the dignity and the love and respect that we had for one another. Where did it go. And how, How do we get it back. I'ma tell you. Young Black men, take your place. We need you. Your sons and daughters need you. Did you understand what I just said. You were sold off and had no choice, yes but now it's time to stay. Take your place. Now. Starting now. Starting now. Young black women, you are more than your thighs and your hips. You are beautiful, strong, powerful. I want more from you. Take your place. I want every single one of you, young man, young woman, turn to the next person standing alongside of you. Grab them and hug them and tell them that you love 'em. Tell them, 'If you need anything, come to me.' 'If you need somebody to talk to, come to me.' 'I'll give you the shoulder, I'll give you the hug. I'll feed you, I'll clothe you if you need it. That's how you start from this moment. When you leave this reunion today, you take that with you.

When I first saw this play, I was blown away! It is fantastic! There are so many good things in this production! There's exposition of the characters...well, most of them. One or two of them don't get much exposition...He's not that important. Moving on.As you should know, I really love Tyler Perry's earlier plays, that is those that came out on video and DVD between 2002 and 2006. I really enjoy them, though there are just a few moments where they begin to look the same. Here, everything appears much better. The faith-based themes and spirituality is shown better; the jokes are better; the fourth wall isn't always broken, but when it is the moment is that much more awesome; the plot is simple and great; the characters can sometimes be kind of two-dimensional, but they are still good on the whole; and I love all of the songs! Yes, the R&B medley is really, really awesome and fantastic, but I'm talking about the original songs. They work really, really well! I love the "You Are My Mama!" song, that is beautiful! Or how about the "Heaven Waits for Me" song? Isn't that just a gorgeous song? Not only is the "Heaven Waits for Me" number a fantastic song, but it's also a wonderful scene! Isn't this the way you'd want to see someone you love get sent to Heaven? This must be how Tyler Perry imagined his mother going to Heaven (sidebar: this play is based on his own family around the time his mother passed). It was this scene that made me realize that this play had gone above and beyond anything else Tyler Perry had done theatrically.My favorite part of the play begins after this scene: the ending. From the time Madea talks to Byron, Rose, and Karen in the kitchen to the end of the play, all of that is awesome! I love the way she talks to Byron and his women in the kitchen. It's funny, but she's still speaking a lot of wisdom. And how about her addressing the fact that Tyler Perry is a grown man? You'll have to see it to know what I'm talking about, but when I first heard her say that, my mouth dropped down and I howled in surprise! That was awesome! I also like what she said to the family and the audience. Again it has its funny moments, but it's more wise than anything. It has wonderful lessons, and I was glad the situations were all resolved here rather than being dragged out. This is all followed by the R&B medley, which, as I said, is incredible! I love it, and I know so many other people do as well. It's done much better here than it was done in "The Marriage Counselor" (sidebar: there's a Tyler Perry play called "The Marriage Counselor;" it doesn't show up on this website) and "Madea Goes to Jail." Oh, the medley worked well in that play, but it's done so much better here! I don't know what else to say. This is one of the greatest plays and theatrical productions I've ever seen - not just from Tyler Perry, but period! Watch it! You'll love it, I promise you!
The year is 2003 and the class of 1953 is having their 50th reunion. Mabel (Madea) Simmons and Downtown Leroy Brown are old classmates. The setting of the play is the hotel where Madea and all of her classmates are staying. Stream on Bet+ 2ff7e9595c
