I’m Ready Productions and Foxy Brown
Productions in Association with L. Richardson Entertainment Present
Je’Caryous Johnson’s ‘Cheaper to Keep Her’ National Tour

HOUSTON, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ — The hit comedy stage play Je’Caryous Johnson’s Cheaper to Keep Her will kick off on the West Coast beginning September 18, 2010 at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. Executive Producers Je’Caryous Johnson and Gary Guidry,
founders of I’m Ready Productions, Inc., and Foxy Brown Productions in
Association with L. Richardson Entertainment announced today more than
30 national tour dates.

“Je’Caryous and I are honored to work again with Vivica A. Fox and Lita Richardson on a production,” said Gary Guidry,
executive producer and president of I’m Ready Productions. “As
co-producers, Vivica and Lita bring great ideas and creative innovation
to the project.”

Cheaper to Keep Her is
the twelfth play in a series of box office breaking, critically
acclaimed stage plays from NAACP Award-winning writer and director
Je’Caryous Johnson. Cheaper to Keep Her stars R&B sensation Brian McKnight and multi-faceted actress Vivica A. Fox. Cheaper to Keep Her also stars the debonair heartthrob Christian Keyes (lead actor – Tyler Perry‘s Madea Goes to Jail), comedian Jonathan Slocumb, and comedian Gary “G-Thang” Johnson.

R&B crooner Brian McKnight is not only receiving rave reviews for his acting, but his performance of classic hits and new songs is thrilling crowds.

“We are very thankful to the fans and to everyone who came out to see Cheaper to Keep Her
in the debut cities,” said Je’Caryous Johnson, CEO and chairman of I’m
Ready Productions. “The positive feedback was overwhelming.  So much so,
we have listened and are bringing the play to multiple cities across
the nation. I hope everyone continues to enjoy the play and are blessed
by the message.”

Cheaper to Keep Her is the story of a seemingly perfect marriage in the midst of collapse. In Cheaper to Keep Her, Raymond MaysBrian McKnight) splits with his wife Morgan Mays (Vivica A. Fox).
When Raymond hires his best friend Joey to be his lawyer, and Morgan
hires her catty cousin Koren as counsel, a legal boxing match explodes
over their divorce. When Morgan walks away with everything, Raymond and
Joey scheme to stop paying alimony by getting Morgan hitched again. But
did Raymond ever stop loving Morgan? Can he stand to see her with
someone else? As ex-husband and ex-love face off with each other, broken
hearts will get revenge, karma could kill, and infidelity can become
infectious as hearts and marital matrimony collide only to discover
whether it’s cheaper to keep her.
