The funeral of Sister Rose Marie, an alcoholic religious disciplinarian, brings together twelve outrageously diverse flawed Harlem characters in this acclaimed play by Stephen Adly Guirgis. Sister Rose Marie may have been a mean drunk of an Irish nun schoolteacher, but she caused her former students to examine the many lessons they've learned from her as they struggle against the tide of their lives, sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing, in doing the right thing. And there's one other complication: somebody has stolen the body. Learn More

I attended the 18th April performance with Hollywood legend, Garrett Morris and we were quite impressed with Ronnie's performance. We both remember Lenny for different reasons and it was wonderful 'seeing' him again and learning new things about him.(especially about his mom!) Loved the setting, the lighting and the blocking; I found the sax player a little distracting...thought the music could have been a bit smoother and was a little disappointed that we didn't get to see an actual Lenny Bruce 'routine' or 'set' but that was clarified by the fact that someone else owns the rights so Ronnie's performance was really Lenny telling his own story; we missed the signature cigarette a bit but we get it! It really was a wonderful evening. Do see this!Written on Apr 19 2010

This was good for what it was. It fell a bit short of capturing the essence of Lenny Bruce, but since the actor is too young to have seen him live, he did a pretty good job. It is too bad that his routines can't be performed.Written on Aug 21 2010

Description
Ronnie Marmo (ABC's General Hospital) is Lenny Bruce.
Obscene? Provacative? Criminal? Controversial. Addict?
An undisputed comic legend, Lenny Bruce was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. His Life and work have had an impact on poetry, politics, music, film and, oh yeah...comedy. Lenny's tempestuous personal and professional life was marked by great passion and great pain. His unwavering commitment to free speech led to numerous obscenity charges and arrests. He was a martyr for how both adventurous and mainstream comedy are heard today, and his "forbidden humor" paved the way for such comic greats as Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Robin Williams. Bruce has not yet been surpassed at his particular brand of art, and if he were around today, he would be in as much trouble as when he was alive.
What happens when Lenny Bruce returns from the grave for one final performance?
