A production of Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord.

Tony Award and Olivier Award-winning director Peter Brook’s production of The Suit won glowing reviews in London’s West End and at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York. Set in South Africa, this tale of love, revenge and redemption “draws you in like the gregarious host of an intimate party. Witty inventiveness… a world that brims with juicy, appetizing life. Everyone on stage is pretty close to perfect.” (The New York Times)

Based on The Suit by Can Themba, Mothobi Mutloatse, and Barney Simon, with direction, adaptation, and musical direction by Peter Brook, Marie-Hélène Estienne, and Franck Krawczyk, The Suit will be at the Prince for only 13 performances before it heads to the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.

When Philomen, a middle-class lawyer, catches his wife Matilda having an affair, he forces her to treat her lover’s left-behind suit as an honored guest – feeding it, entertaining it, and taking it for walks as a constant reminder of her adultery. But the setting of Sophiatown, a teeming South African township that was erased under apartheid soon after Can Themba wrote his classic short story The Suit, is as much a character in the story as his unfortunate couple. Renowned director Peter Brook’s French stage adaptation is now given new life by returning to the source language of English. Working with his long-time collaborator Marie-Hélène Estienne and composer Franck Krawczyk, they have adapted the play and set it to music from sources as diverse as Franz Schubert and Miriam Makeba.

This is the best action movie I've seen. I was completely interested in the movie the entire time, and was never bored. I liked Liam Neeson, and he was my favorite character. He was nice to a little girl who was really cute, and then he was a cool tough guy. There are surprises and twists. It is a very good. I think all action movies should be like this. It is definitely worth seeing.

I did not find this movie funny. Everyone around me did, but I did not. I did not like the bad words in the movie. I didn't like Chaitainya's dad, his sponsor, everybody in the audience at the final spelling bee, the director of the spelling bee, or anybody else. Everyone was mean to Guy and Guy was mean to everyone. I also didn't get any of the jokes in the movie. Some things did make me laugh, but mostly I just didn't understand it at all.

1 star

I did like getting to take a picture holding a sign with my mom's favorite bad word. It made me laugh.

I liked the movie but I was bored through most of it. Right before the action it was boring and the action wasn't strong enough to really interest me. I did not like the boyfriend or the mom at all. My favorite characters were the Russian guy, the Italian guy, and the daughter, although I didn't like the kind of person she was. I didn't like Vivi at all either. I think an action movie should actually have action in it.

This movie is bad and the director should feel bad for making it. I didn't understand the story at all. It is a confusing movie that the only good thing about it is Will Smith. Will Smith is pretty great but he didn't make this movie better at all. I also liked the horse special effects. They should use those special effects for Pegasus in Percy Jackson. It didn't make much sense in this movie at all. Nothing did.


1 star because I like Will Smith. 

I thought this was almost a cute movie that was like Romeo and Juliet. I think the characters were portrayed really well and the story line was good. I thought the dad was a huge jerk trying to keep David and Jade apart. It's an ok love story but it is really just for teens. This isn't really a great movie at all and most people will be bored. I liked Alex much better in Beastly. He was good in that.

3 stars because I like Alex Pettyfer.

Maymay and Sarah! 

Wired 96.5 ALWAYS treats her like a million bucks and makes her the happiest kiddo in the world. 

Thanks Sarah and Wired for seriously ROCKING!

NO. I did not like this movie at all. No action movie should be boring. Action movies are supposed to be entertaining and cool. This movie isn't. I liked that stuff went BOOM! but even then I wanted to fall asleep. An action movie is supposed to keep your attention and keep you wanting to know what's going to happen next. RoboCop didn't do that for me.

1 star only because I like Samuel L. Jackson. He is cool.

I liked this movie because it was based on something that actually happened in history. I liked that Cassia and Milo take care of each other even though they are so different. I also like Atticus because he is honorable and takes care of Milo and they consider each other as brothers. They really aren't brothers. I did not like that Milo killed a horse even though he did it because the horse was in pain and he had no choice. I still didn't like it. The special effect were cool and the volcano was really good. I thought the Roman Senator was a jerk. I didn't like him at all.

3 1/2 stars.

Maymay loved the activity book that was given out at this screening. Very cute and it's always nice when they give you something!

I enjoyed watching this movie. It was cute and it had Batman. Batman rocks. I love Legos and now i want to build my own Lego city. It had a lot of action for a cartoon type movie. I would see this movie again because I thought it was funny and good for all ages. I loved that they used minifigures of all Lego sets in the movie. I thought it was great when they showed Dumbledore and Star Wars minifigures. I also liked when they showed both Michelangelo the artist and the ninja turtle. My favorite characters were Emmet, Benny, Batman, and Wyldstyle. I thought that Lord Business looked like Loki and wondered why they didn't have any Marvel minifigures. Where is Thor, Ironman,Captain America, The Hulk, Hawkeye, and Black Widow? They should have been in the movie. This is a fun movie and I'm glad I got to see it.
