Ma Rainey s Black Bottom is another outstanding performance to add to a formidable catalogue. I thought there was something so special about Cutler, and I was very intrigued by him. I remember seeing the play on Broadway when Whoopi Goldberg did it. There was something about the dynamics of this band, Domingo explains of taking the role. David LeeNetflix I was really transfixed on the men in the band, and that working organism, and what these Black men were wrestling with, because it does feel a bit like a wrestling match or a boxing match. One minute you re down, one minute you re hitting somebody below the belt. But then also you dance. You bob and move a bit. I felt very lucky to be invited into it.
