With the help of Candylady, she casts a hex on Ace to always have him keep a piece of her heart with him. Though she might get what she wants, the charm is not without its consequences. Ghosts from her past rear their heads, and they find perhaps having the love you want, isn’t the one you need the most.
Bonding Relationships
The cast delivers deep feelings within their characters, by this writer’s lights. Candylady’s and Toulou’s friendship sparks when Shariba Rivers and Martasia Jones are on stage. When Toulou’s brother played by Christopher Wayland Jones shows up at her door, we can feel the daggers shooting out of her eyes as he tries to weasel his way into her life. We also feel the dreams of Toulou and Ace, played by Jones and Matthew James Elam, as they both struggle to make their music. Ace grapples with making his mark on the blues, while Toulou fights to get noticed at all. And even though their love might be one sided, they show an intimate and troubled relationship.
