"New York cannot stop talking about 'Any1Man'!!"
Critics agree, 'Any1Man' is a must see!
"I wish I had known, I would have brought my whole family," said one theater patron. "This is the kind of subject matter that we all needed to see, together."
"The most powerful solo performance I have seen in a long time. Reminded me of Whoopi's 1985 'Direct from Broadway'," said Charles Davenport.
"This is my fourth time seeing this show...the debut performance of 'Any1Man' in New York was the best production I have seen yet. New York, you are being spoiled," offered yet another faithful supporter, Lathun Williams.
Perhaps Lathun is correct. This production is staged with the help of real footage and projections of all five characters in their element, provided by JustGenius.net. Accompanied by Jaspects, the performance is interactive and alive with the response and participation of an active audience. If you are within a plane ride of Tribeca Performing Arts Center, go see George A. Peters, II and his cast of characters. I promise you will fall in love with at least 5.
I did.

Well I've been darned patient! You know...trying not to be the first to submit a critic of last evening's performance (for obvious reasons!) Wake up NYC!! Wake up everybody, anybody...Any1Man!! Were ya there?! Did ya see the stellar performance of Any1Man by George II, and did ya hear the musical brilliance of Jazzspects?! Well..IT'S GETTIN' LATE; THE PERFOMANCES WERE GREAT; AND I CAN NO LONGER WAIT!! George II, my beloved, you were extraordinary last evening. I recognize when you're on task and in a zone, because it is then that I am unable to recognize George II. Last evening, I knew you not! You were in character(s). You were Bishop! You were Man Tan! You had, indeed, stepped outside of yourself. All of your thespian training, ability and (your)creativity came gushing forth out of every pore of your body. The very essence of all five characters was so evident...so painfully evident! Your portrayal of Wesley left me attempting to conceal the moisture in my eyes, and almost wanting to admonish myself for what I had done to you. ("Did I send him through such pain?!") You drew me in man! You actually caused me to step outside of myself!! LOL I've seen you perform Any1Man on at least four occasions. This performance was subperb and showcased your capacity . It truly captured and epitomized the plight of so many of our young males! The manifestation of characters last evening was at the apex of all that you have done to date, and it demonstrates that you are destined to propel into stardom. This is, in no small way, due to your perserverance and your faithfulness. Don't look back George, except when you know that an error has occurred and "can be corrected", or for review of a previous error to insure that you don't repeat it. Continue to be positive and honest with yourself and others, as well as to your portrayal of characters. Never, never, compromise yourself, your name, your art, or a friendship; for at day's end, they are all that you truly possess aside from God's love for you. Lastly, by any means necessary, maintain your faithfulness. Know who you are and whose you are.
Love you man!!
