Coming to America | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Eddie Murphy is the box office king of comedy. And in Coming To America, Murphy is also the prince of comedy -- a very wealthy and pampered African prince who comes to America in search of a bride. Accompanied by his closest companion (Arsenio Hall), Murphy quickly finds a job, new friends, new digs, new enemies -- and lots of trouble. Keep an eye out for both Murphy and Hall in some unforgettable cameo roles!

Synopsis: Lighthearted cross-cultural comedy about a freethinking African prince who wants no part of his arranged marriage and skips town for Queens, New York, where, with his quip-ready man-in-waiting, he searches for love and a princess of his own choosing. Romance blooms just as his dashiki-clad family steps into the middle of it.
