Cellino v. Barnes @ Asylum NYC

Hey, has anyone else seen this? It’s playing at Asylum.

The I actually went this afternoon and I thought it was a hoot. It’s purely brainless comedy that’s also surprisingly clever in quite a few moments. It was reminding me a bit of if THE PRODUCERS were lawyers instead - and the story is, relatively, true with few liberties.

I got a $43 ticket on TodayTix, but most performances are on TDF for less. It’s a brisk 80 minutes and a goofy night out.

I saw this a few weeks ago and it was just the right amount of stupid for me to have a great time. The build up to the jingle is palpable and I still chuckle when I think of Cellino opening and closing the safe. I love that there is a full line of merch for this silly show too.
