The other big news of the night, besides the fact that there are about 85 "Trapped in the Closet" chapters in the bag, is that R. didn't have too many secrets to spill with us regarding when it would hit the stage, he did say he would appear in a few of the performances, "depending on the city." So apparently the show will travel-it's a Thanksgiving miracle. Yes, the same Broadway that hands out Tony Awards. The big news from the evening's Q&A is that "Trapped in the Closet" is headed to Broadway. Kelly joked! And it was apparent he'd been waiting for this day for a while.
Kelly" tattooed on her hand-who beelined it all the way from Jersey for the event. himself (or "Sylvester," his character's name if you're nasty).ĭressed in a pristine suit, smart-looking glasses and beautifully expensive red leather gloves (holding what we're sure was an equally expensive cigar), R. While the short film (it really is a short film) was, as expected, bewildering, hilarious and just as convoluted, if not moreso, than the last 22 chapters of the saga, the real entertainment came after the viewing during the Q&A with R. Kelly's 23rd and long-awaited chapter of his epic "Trapped in the Closet" hip hopera, premiering November 23 on IFC. A bunch of excited reporters and a few lucky fans showed up around 6:30 p.m., willingly turned over their cell phones and took a seat as they prepared themselves to ingest the magic about to befall them: an advanced screening of R.
It was a really weird night at the Sunshine Cinema on Houston Street in NYC. Update: Chapter 24 of "Trapped In the Closet" is online now! Meet yet another R.
