This quaint comedy was a wonderful departure from the usual fare. The actors were excellent and although i did not enter laughing, I certainly exited laughing. Thanks Gold Star.
The actors were good even though it was Halloween night and the seats were only 1/3 filled with patrons. It was generally a good play but not a great play. The seats were very uncomfortable for me (6'3") and my guest (5'2"). We both squirmed in our seats throughout the whole play and then they shut of the A/C early and it started to get warm. I have been there 5 times and this was my worst experience.
Unfortunately we were somewhat disillusioned with the play. Relating it to Carl Reiner perhaps gave me higher expectations than were attained. We've always enjoyed LBPH and are season ticket holders in the Studio stage, but found this one work a bit lacking in directorial/acting skill and a bit miscast (with the exception of the character Foreman). To the reader, keep in mind this is totally subjective - go and find out for yourselves!!
