Lenny Bruce Bio-Play Directed by Joe Mantegna (Criminal Minds) Reviews & Ratings

Marmo has such a great handle on Lenny Bruce. Watching the performance, I felt like I got who the man was, and what he was about. It definitely helped enhance my already high appreciation of the groundbreaking crusader that LB was -- a warrior, in...continued

This one-man show is absolutely worth seeing, especially for Ronnie Marmo's committed embodiment of Bruce. The piece could easily benefit from an additional 10 minutes or so, providing a stronger sampling of Lenny's comedy routines, showing that...continued

It appears I'm in the minority, but I was not at all impressed by this show or performance. The laugh lines were obvious, but strained and corny. The pathos was melodramatic and unmoving. The treatment of the character was superficial and...continued

It's a difficult task to reduce a person's life to a 70 minute monologue especially when that person is as iconic as Lenny Bruce. While the show can only offer a cursory overview of Mr. Bruce's time on earth the performance by Ronnie Marmo is...continued

Incredible. Brilliant.

An extremely impressive performance. I was not a fan of Lenny Bruce so was hesitant to go. I'm so glad a friend changed my mind and I got tickets because Ronnie Marmo knocked it out of the ballpark!

I really enjoyed the performance from beginning to end. The actor was excellent all the way through this 75 minute one-man performance, from the nude beginning to end.

I knew alot about Bruce and the challenges he had as a performer, but didn't...continued

Ronnie Marmo (who portrays Bruce in the show) and I have something in common; a man crush on Lenny Bruce. I've harbored mine for more than a quarter century. However, he is an actor and I am a comic, which makes the basis of our crushing very...continued

Clearly a labor of love. This portrayal was great. Anyone who doesn't know the trials and tribulations of Lenny Bruce will come away understanding that he was crucified for using words now considered tame in today's casual vernacular. Actor...continued

A tour de force performance. Heartbreaking, mesmerizing, and hilarious, too. Bravo!

It was a wonderful performance -- well-acted and well-directed. It exceeded my expectations.

This was a brilliant performance piece. The best theater I have seen in a very long time

Mostly captivating but with some periods that didn't hold my attention. Interesting character. Difficult life.

Very nice and comfortable small theatre. Can see from any seat. Thoroughly enjoyed the play. Ronnie Marmo was excellent. I encourage everyone to see this.

First Rate

Mr. Marmo has created a succinct, arresting stage play, a gripping eye-opener about an American icon, which he performs flawlessly. So unusual in so much of today's live theater, un-miked to boot, he delivers every word with crystal clarity, at...continued

The acting in this one man show was phenomenal! The play needed more historical context (maybe, at least, in the playbill) to help the audience understand the full import of Lenny Bruce in his day.

THE ACTING WAS GREAT. THE THEATRE HAD SHORTCOMINGS.

Great performance! A do not miss!

Ronnie Marmo is a spectacular Lenny Bruce. He understands the character, looks like him, sounds like him, and he is a great fit as an actor. If you are unfamiliar with Lenny and his work, this one man show is an excellent introduction and you will...continued
