Wonderfully insane fun! I am now a bigger fan of Christopher Walken than ever before thanks to this show.
Bought these tickets for my hubby since he's such a huge fan of Walken. Didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. The show and cast was fantastic!
The cast did a terrific job. A little uneven and some skits fell flat but still fun!!

There’s something about Christopher Walken. That something has made the amazingly versatile actor-dancer-singer-comedian a unique presence and a pop culture phenomenon. He has become a favorite subject for impersonators drawn to this supremely talented individual who is also, in his way, strange-looking (that hair! those eyes!) and strange-sounding (those unusual cadences!). Also unique is that his impersonators respond out of affection rather than an urge to ridicule.
Walken’s professional career began 53 years ago, when at age ten he appeared with Jerry Lewis in a skit on “The Colgate Comedy Hour.” Since then, Walken has appeared on Broadway (The Lion in Winter, The Dead and twelve others), television (a six-time host on “Saturday Night Live,” for which he won an American Comedy Award) and 83 films, including his Oscar-winning turn in “The Deer Hunter.” A trained dancer praised by Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, Walken insinuates a dance move into each screen performance--a professional trademark.
All About Walken evokes moments from many of Walken’s films as well as his appearances on TV and in music video. It also contains some original, novel material beyond the expectations for a show that celebrates impersonation. Building on its success, new sketches and new Walken moments are being added to the show.
The rotating cast includes Louis Allen, Christina Barsi, Dionysio Basco, Kyle Cadman, Joe Dallo, Kate Frisbee, Aryiel Hartman, Lily Holleman, Amy P. Kelly, Kenzo Lee, Jason J. Lewis, Patrick O’Sullivan, Naathan Phan, Sascha Rasmussen and Jennifer Raymond.
All About Walken is the brainchild of stand-up comic Patrick O’Sullivan, who also directs. O’Sullivan is also producing a new documentary on legendary comic Lenny Bruce, titled “Looking For Lenny,” and launching the Internet channel Vision Good Life. As an actor, O’Sullivan recently appeared on “Free Radio,” a new series for VH-1, and in Showtime Films’ “Pants in the Family.” He starred in the long-running hit comedy Fluffy Bunnies in a Field of Daisies at Zoo Theater, as well as in Lovers and Other Strangers, Children of a Lesser God and Badfish: Story of a Punk, all at the Matrix Theatre, and the first stage adaptation of The Shawshank Redemption.
