I expected this to be mainly the music, but others after the show were complaining that there was no story. I love Randy Newman's music and lyrics, so how could I not love it? There was still great, if simpler staging. Didn't realize one of the male singers was Lenny from Laverne and Shirley until he came out on stage. It's amazing to hear all his songs one after another and realize how much he's written and the depth and breadth of his work. I took my young adult daughter and she had only heard a couple songs, but said she liked it and "got" that it was snippets of life interpreted. Seats were good. No complaints.Written on Nov 29 2010

As other reviewers have stated, it is a series of songs being performed but each one is individualized with scenery,visuals and sometimes costumes. The band,singing and staging was top notch.Written on Nov 29 2010

A fun witty show. I'm sure is more fun for longtime seasoned Randy Newman fans (which I'm not). McKean and Sagal both shined as stars, but costume swapping diva Adriane Lenox stole the show. Other performers quite good.Written on Dec 20 2010

As usual, great seats from Goldstar. The show was wonderful. The Mark Taper Forum always a great venue, and the six players were in good voice. I recommend the show to fans of Randy Newman and also fans of Katey Sagal and Michael Mckean.Written on Dec 06 2010
