Flamingo Court 7/19 Night

Just saw it tonight & I hope the actors have a new job lined up fast

On a Saturday Night, even with TDF discounts, the house was barely 1/2 full. The writing is amatuerish.

There are 3 sections. The first deals with a woman(Gillette) whose husband is sick & Jamie Farr who lives in the condo & has the hots for her

The second (best & shortest of them) deal with Farr & Gilette as husband & wife. She is suffering from Alzheimers & Farr is waiting to have her picked up to go to a home. It is serious.

The last, involving flatulence jokes & borscht belt humor involves Farr as an 85 year old man who has a fling with a prostitute(Gillette).Farr's daughter & son in law come down & all she wants is his money. The rest of the cast tries hard but they all rise above the material

Farr shows his age but Gillette looks remarkably good.

Better luck next time as this may not make it out of previews which would be merciful. The critics would absolutely destroy it. The play is better suited for regional areas & tours possibly but no way near Broadway or off.

Ah, ELVIS PEOPLE.

I agree that Elvis People was absolutely horrible.

But the descriptions below sound like a show I'd really like - I always loved the crudeness on "Married with Children". And I was laughing hysterically throughout the humor of Jackie Mason at New World Stages. (I don't like shows like "39 Steps" or "Marriage of Bette & Boo" but I do love "sarcastic" comedy like "Married with Children" or Jackie Mason - so do you think I'd like this show?) Or should I save my money and time?

Carolyn Rossi Copeland, the Executive Producer, should know better. And to add insult to injury, they are charging $72.00 for this thing. Sheesh.

Put back the $2.00 6-plex movie theaters there, that we used to LOVE!!

This is on par with Moose Murders

This makes Married With Children look like Masterpiece Theater. It is the GWTW of bad shows.

I swear the people who do the programming at New World must be mentally retarded. Seriously, they need their heads examined.

Hey, EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL played at New World Stages. I loved the show and saw it three times during its berief run!

MAKE ME A SONG was great.

DIE MOMMY DIE was pretty amusing.

cactusb, I wanted to ask you something -- can you turn your PM's on?
