One of the worst things you can do is tell a Broadway vet that you do not like musicals.
During a hilarious interaction iconic Actress Loretta Devine went in on a Uber driver who was letting her know that he has never attended a musical and doesn’t plan to.
He obviously did not recognize her at first and when you are THEEEEE ‘Loretta’ that’s a perfect opportunity to have a little fun.
“You don’t know because you ain’t seen it, you done shut down half your brain baby.”
Watch the hilarious interaction below:

Preacher’s Wife Musical
We are guessing Loretta was referring to the Preacher’s Wife Musical.
According to Playbill the production is set to debut at the Atlanta theatre on May 11, with an official opening night on May 24. Due to popular demand, the show’s run has been extended until June 16.
Leading the talented ensemble are Amber Riley in the role of Julia Biggs and Loretta Devine portraying Marguerite Coleman.
They will be joined by Rebecca E. Covington as Beverly, Akron Watson as Henry Biggs, Donald Webber, Jr. as Dudley, Alan H. Green as Joe Hamilton, Jahi Kearse as Deacon Lewis, Davis Michael Matthews as Hakeem, Cameron McCrae as Jeremiah, Wayne Pretlow as Ol’ Mac, and Brad Raymond as Deacon Johnson.
I bet he will go see her musical now!
