Please post any thoughts/comments/reviews of CURTAINS at Papermill which opened May 1st.

I enjoyed Hairspray and Les Miserables there this season.
But Forum was a huge disappointment.

Anyone that can post reviews or their own reviews...that would be great.

I love Kim Zimmer and Robert Newman but hate the show!

And I love the show but don't know who those two people are. I'm hoping I can find a time to see it this month! Would love to hear thoughts from anyone who goes!

It can't be any worse than their horrendous, unfunny, production of Forum.

Let me put it this way: it was a very well-staged production, but that can't cover up the fact that it's an awful show. And Newman stuttered on a lot of his lines.

here's a review.
But it really doesn't say much.

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM was slow, tedious, and worst of all NOT funny. I couldn't wait for it to end. I sincerely hope CURTAINS is better.

I saw the show last night and enjoyed it, despite the silliness of the show's premise itself. Kim Zimmer plays a great Carmen and doles out her crass lines with real zest. Her vocal performance is also on the money. Robert Newman plays a fantastic Cioffi and the audience can't help but sympathize with the antics of Bambi, played by Anne Horak.

The first act of the show does drag a little, but that is not the fault of the actors or the producer. The sets, the music and dance were all well done.
