Jim Brochu has earned raves for his tour-de-force performance as stage and film star Zero Mostel in his one-man, Ovation and Drama Desk Award-winning play Zero Hour. Set in the legendary actor's New York painting studio, a naïve reporter attempts to interview the famously volatile artist, known for both his comedic genius -- memorably on display in Mel Brooks' original version of The Producers -- and his place on the Hollywood blacklist. The probing questions prompt an explosion of humor, outrage and juicy backstage lore from the Tony-winning star, who brought the classic character of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof so vibrantly to life.

Not expecting a play on the level of Off Broadway, I was surprised and thrilled at the writing, and the memorable performance of Jim Brochu as Zero Mostel, a star not easily conveyed honestly.
Excellent show and definitely a bargain with goldstar.
