In recent life I have heard the name Rain Pryor here and there. Mostly after her becoming involved with my buddy Rock Wilk’s production “10151241385653753662623680n/” rel=”attachment wp-att-5173″>
10151242166853753548426002n/” rel=”attachment wp-att-5174″>! I had no idea that there would be a 3 piece band there that she would be performing with! And I simply was not prepared for the emotional range that is Rain Pryor’s performance. After the show, all you heard from the audience members as they exited was “Wow she is so amazingly talented, she is so great, I love her,” and many more compliments about her talent.</p>
<p>During this packed show Rain took us through the story of her life. She talks about how it was growing up not only the daughter of the late, great actor and comedian Richard Pryor, but as a person of mixed heritage growing up in Beverly Hills during a time when the neighborhood was far less diverse. For those who may not know, Rain has both Jewish and Black heritage, which is the inspiration behind the title Fried Chicken and Latkes. Through various acting bits, songs and several impersonations Rain takes us from her birth, to grade school and encounters with bullies, and from there she takes us on a journey to high school and even tells us about her friend Wanitta! Rain does an amazing job transitioning between her mom, her dad, friends and herself. There were moments where we were all laughing out loud as she impersonated her dad and his discipline methods, but then without warning she’d shift into something very emotional and have us all moved to tears. Only to bring back the laughter and fun out of nowhere. You can see why I refer to the show as an emotional roller coaster.</p>
<p>I can’t express to you how impressed I was by Rain’s performance. I think anyone who enjoys a great story, music, dancing, or comedy should absolutely see this show. Again, Rain literally blew my mind, this was so much more than I expected! Go see the show!</p>
