'The Washington Post's Review of Three Sistahs at MetroStage (Lighting Design by Adam Magazine)

'Three Sistahs': R&B in Search Of Chekhov (washingtonpost.com) As in the Chekhov play on which the musical is loosely based, the sisters inhabiting the production at MetroStage in Alexandria can imagine a better future without any real hope that it is actually going to come. And while "Three Sistahs" is not so presumptuous as to attempt to replicate Chekhov, it also, unfortunately, does not have the necessary structural logic to allow an audience to fully invest in these searching women. Like a skeleton whose bones have been scattered, the soapy musical lacks the connective tissue that would help make more sense of the puzzle.
