Turns out there was a little truth to that twitter rumor that there would be a B.A.P.S. remake. The cult classic has been adapted by Je'Caryous Johnson, who previously did New Jack City Live this past year. Angela Renée White a.k.a. Blac Chyna revealed in an Instagram post that she will be reprising the infamous role of Nisi; played by Halle Berry in the original 1997 film.
Per the official website, the B.A.P.S. live description seems to steer close to the original plot of the film: Join the hoodtastic duo, ‘Nisi’ & ‘Mickey,’ as their entrepreneurial dreams quickly turn into a royal reality when their black girl magic turns the ailing millionaire into a vibrant man causing him to praise them as his very own personal Black American Princesses.
The first show kicks off on May 12th, 2023 8pm in Detroit, MI.
There hasn't been word yet of who is casted to play the late Natalie Desselle role as Mickey. Casting Director, Natasha Ward, may still be working out the kinks. For now, the tickets are on sale for the following location/dates:
