Jason’s Lyric Live!
Brace yourself for the electrifying stage adaptation of one of the most iconic love stories of our time. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of its release, award-winning playwright and visionary producer Je’Caryous Johnson is transforming the beloved film Jason’s Lyric into an immersive theatrical experience. Based on the theatrical motion picture written by Bobby Smith, Jr.
With a star-studded cast led by Allen Payne (House of Payne, New Jack City) reprising his iconic role as Jason, Eva Marcille (All the Queen’s Men) as Lyric, Treach (Naughty by Nature) as Alonzo, Tyrin Turner (Menace II Society) as Josh, and K. Michelle (Love & Hip Hop, chart-topping R&B artist) as Marti, Jason’s Lyric Live promises to be a must-see cultural event.
A Love Story Worth Fighting For
In Jason’s Lyric Live, Jason (Allen Payne), a man haunted by his violent past, meets Lyric (Eva Marcille), a guarded woman who has built walls around her heart to survive the streets of Houston. Their undeniable passion brings hope and healing, but their love is threatened by family loyalty, dangerous choices, and life-altering betrayals. Jason’s devotion to his troubled brother Josh (Tyrin Turner), fresh out of prison, puts his dreams of a better life at risk. Meanwhile, Lyric’s fears of the street life embodied by her own brother Alonzo (Treach) make her hesitant to trust love.
