Inspired by the long-running hit NPR show Car Talk -- which is hosted by legendary (real-life) mechanics Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers -- comes the hilarious new musical comedy, Car Talk: The Musical!!! at Central Square Theater. A co-production of Underground Railway Theater and Suffolk University, the show was written by Suffolk faculty member Wesley Savick, with original music by Michael Wartofsky. In it, Rusty Fenders, the hapless owner of a lemon '93 Kia, falls in love with Miata C. LaChassis. She guides him to the Emerald Garage, home to the Wizard of Cahs (portrayed by the recorded, heavily accented voices of Click and Clack themselves). Like the radio show, it's a romantic comedy about being in love with your car -- and so, so much more. Learn More

Very clever and thought provoking. The ensemble played well against each other and were extremely agile. I liked the music and found it enriched the production.Written on Dec 12 2008

First off the new Central Square Theater facility is beautlful. I've seen one Underground / Catalyst Collaborative production before (An Evening with Richard Feynman) and enjoyed that immensely too.Written on Dec 03 2008
I was surprised and impressed by the amount of physical acting in this play, and the vignettes were excellent.
I especially loved the gent who played a young Einstein, he really seems to have thhe 'too smart for his own good' mannerisms down to a science :)
Looking forward to future productions from these folks!

This was a very clever production of a young Einstein at the patent office, thinking about time. Very sparse set, but it worked. Three actors, all great. Very energetic, very in-tune with each other.Written on Dec 02 2008
The only reason I didn't give it four stars was that the music - which was played live for about 95% of the performance - was too loud and had a tendency to drown out the actors' normal speaking voices, and so they had to shout.

It was a very artistic approach to Einstein's subconscious, but was too low budget for the price that was charged. I did enjoy the discussion after the play was over though.Written on Nov 24 2008
