Tyler Perry’s “Madea on the Run”on Beacon Theatre’s Marquee – Tempestt Patterson/flickr.com/photos/temppattThe multi-talented Tyler Perry brought back Madea for seven must-see performances at the Beacon Theatre. The stage play was titled ”Madea on the Run.” This was Tyler Perry’s first time back to the historic Beacon Theatre in 10 years. I had the pleasure of attending the last show of the seven Beacon Theatre performances.”Madea on the Run” is a hilarious yet inspirational message filled play starring Tyler Perry as the no nonsense Mabel ‘Madea’ Simmons. Madea is in trouble with the authorities a.k.a. popo and is now on the run. She moves in/hides out at her friend Bam’s house who’s recovering from having hip replacement surgery. While helping take care of Bam, it becomes obvious that Bam’s family is in need of some help in the form of tough love only Madea can provide. The life lessons shared are sure to hit home with audience members.
