I'm quite excited to see this, as I've never laughed harder at a straight play in my life, than at the various times I've seen this play performed well. This production is practically playing in my backyard, so if it's good, I wanna see it multiple times.

Harriet Harris is starring, as I assume, Dottie Ottley (the mailer just lists the cast, not their roles). The cast also features Scott Barrow, Katie Fabel, Edmond Genest, Jack Moran, Jessica Ires Morris, Laila Robbins, Matt Bradford Sullivan, and Andrew Weems.

It runs August 5-30.

I've only seen the film, but it is brilliant! This sounds wonderfully intriguing.

Let's just be thankful Harriet Harris won't be singing.

The film is great fun (what a cast!), but nothing compares to seeing it done live, especially when it's a good production. The immediacy of it all makes it that much funnier.

The 2001 revival was the first show I ever saw on Broadway and the only show that has come to close to replicating my level of enjoyment of Noises Off was Boeing-Boeing last year.

And Harriet Harris as Dottie sounds like a hoot. The theater is about a two hour drive, maybe I'll make the trip next month.

I might check this out, since it is in Madison. Very easy for me to get to.
