Latinologues was OK. Since this is a small theatre there were not assigned seat numbers, that creates some confusion or lack of manners from some people who want to run over you to get a good seat. The show started late, the location is not very attractive. Rick Najera seems to be a funny guy, some of the dialogues were original, funny sometimes but a lot of language. I enjoy comedy when you can laugh with really good jokes not because the bad language is used in excess to explain despered -not funny- situations.
I think the actors are doing a great effort, they looked in their element even though the stage is not very inspiring.
Parking was not very accesible, there was a fee of $6 in the closest available parking lot who look insecure and dirty. Not a very bad experience, but I won't do it again.
Great show. Great line up. Great location. Lots of laughs. Will see the show again.
RBRAVO
Great entertainment. High recommend. Refreshing cast.
Loved it! It was VERY funny and really well done. The performers were so talented and the venue was very comfortable---there's not a bad seat in the house. There's parking in a lot right next door for $7. I was very pleased to discover that it starred an actor I knew from the excellent independent film "Quinceanera". I can't recommend it too much. p.s. - I personally wouldn't bring children to it as it is intended for a more sophisticated adult audience.

Having written for such ground breaking shows as MAD TV and In Living Color, Najera wanted to create a showcase for Latino talent. The idea was first conceived when Najera discovered a hunger for Latino actors to have a showcase, one where they could be seen in comedy. “So many times we’re seen as serious and dramatic but not funny, and comedy is universal." The show went to Broadway at the Helen Hayes Theatre and ran for 137 performances, and received an Imagen Award for Best Live Theatrical Production.
