Featured review from Ms W
view more less of this reviewI love the Ruskin, and love Shanley. Neither disappointed me in this production. John Collela was superb as usual, I saw him previously in Unfaithful, and his performance was exceptional. The rest of the actors were also well cast. Not a bad one in the bunch! You don't need to be Italian to understand this play, the feelings and emotions shown are universal. Highly recommend!!
star this review starred report as inappropriateGreat little production, wonderful sets and characters. The story was realistic and entertaining and hit a few chords with my partner and me. The Ruskin was a new treat and greatly appreciated. FREE PARKING, easily accessible, pretty spot. Great seats for all.
star this review starred report as inappropriateJohn Collela is a very engaging lead man, but it wasn't necessary with this very intelligent script. If you like a story that reminds you to peel back the layers of the onion to see what's truly inside - see this. Very, very entertaining!
star this review starred report as inappropriateThis play was wonderful. We almost didn't attend b/c my boyfriend had a really crappy day... So glad we went!! This play really cheered him up. We both loved it. John Colella was amazing. Charming, funny, sincere... Every good adjective you can imagine. I was the lucky lady who got his rose at the top of the show. He made me blush.
Every other actor is really great as well. The women who play Theresa and Janice - both gave really touching performances. Aunt May was excellent.
Andy Lauer was excellent as Huey. That role I believe to be a very difficult one to play - b/c the character is so wacky when we first meet him. But we have to feel for him at the same time...
I'm just gushing now. Loved it all. Please, please go support this wonderful cast of actors.

Description
Ruskin Group Theatre proudly presents a comedy that knows “the greatest, the only, success is to be able to love,” created by story teller John Patrick Shanley (whose work has garnered a Tony Award, an Academy Award, and the Pulitzer Prize). Huey and Aldo are two passionate men, who have been best friends their whole lives. Unwittingly, they set out to conquer love. It quickly becomes clear that they must first prove their manhood and reconcile with their past... through a “vampire vulture monster fiend” that Huey once married.
