Today is Tuesday, November 9, marking the official opening night performance of Colin Quinn's one-man comedy, LONG STORY SHORT, at the Helen Hayes Theatre on 44th. Arriving after an extended run Off-Broadway, preview performances began October 22. Under the direction of Jerry Seinfeld, the 75-minute excursion will play a limited engagement through January 8, 2011.

Per production notes: "Comically channeling the demise of great world empires, Colin Quinn uses his 'articulate brand of comedy' in taking audiences through an uproarious history of the world in 75 minutes. From his personification of Caesar as the original Italian mobster to his complaints about Ancient Greece and Antigone giving way to Costco and Snooki, Quinn is at his satirical best, taking on the attitudes, appetites and bad habits that toppled the world’s most powerful nations. Colin Quinn Long Story Short proves that throughout human history, the joke has always been on us."

Saw this show yesterday and it was awesome. Laughed the entire time. I actually got a sore throat from laughing so hard. I highly recommend it.
