I'm seeing this Friday night. The Times hated it. Anyone else have opinions?

Don't bother, it's a complete waste of time and money. All those ethnic jokes are played out. I really can't believe these type of shows keep coming back. I guess because they are cheap to produce. The jokes are just not fresh and it's just not funny anymore.

Kind of Jackie Mason-esque? That's the feeling I've gotten from what I read. They're comps, so I'm only losing time. I'm surprised this show is still open, yet all of these Off-Broadway shows at Dodger (New World) Stages can't last a month. It must be the title that keeps people buying, like I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE. I think in order for Off-Broadway shows to keep filling houses these days, it's really about having a tourist-grabbing title, regardless (unfortunately) of whether the show has good content.

Well... Jewtopia is definitely not a title that grabs the average American tourist. If anything, I wish it would scare people away. The title alone to me veers a little on the side of elitism, the very reason we are hated in many parts of the world. I have unfortunately seen the show (comps) and it is a snore.
