Stokley Set To Star As Rick James In ‘Super Freak: The Rick James Story’ Musical Tour

Je’Caryous Johnson, recognized producer, director and writer is back at it with a new production.  Je’Caryous Johnson Entertainment, the company that brought us The Set It Off Stage Play and the New Jack City Stage Play, is gearing up for one of his biggest shows yet, Super Freak: The Rick James Story!  And now we know, Mint Condition’s Stokley stars as Rick James.

Stokley Williams has an amazing voice, and the music knowledge, having been in the business since the early 90s as a musician.  While he doesn’t have much theater experience, a musical is the perfect fit for him.
