“It’s not going to reshape your concept of the Founding Fathers through inventive use of choreography and hip hop music. It’s not going to give you insight into how a fictional visitor from Kansas to a strange and distant land might be reset from her antagonist’s view. Neither will it make you fall in love with 19th century French students fighting for social change or how a young female singer resists a mysterious masked figure at the Paris Opera.
No. The musical Sweet Potato Queens will do none of that and, yet, it might bring pure joy and understanding for many of those who live lives of quiet desperation and hopelessness.” -Alan Smason, WYES-TV
