^ Thank you. If they didn't want it perceived as a comedy (or at least having comedic elements) they wouldn't be advertising it as such. I'm not expecting a Play That Goes Wrong or Noises Off.
Will I find it funny? Won't know until I see it in two weeks.

Tom5 said: "As a previous poster mentioned there was another play named 'Bruce' which seemed to have the identical story. I looked it up as best I could and it seemed really good despite what the reported critics reviews and the character who played Steven Spielberg was his spitting image. If I was in Seattle at the time Iwould definitely have seen it. Will there at least be a three-way lawsuit going on soon?"
'Bruce' is a musical, not a play.
It seems to be dead in the water, so to speak.

Precisely, not only was BRUCE a musical, it was a full scale production about the filming of JAWS so it featured Jarrod Spector as Steven Spielberg, plus all the creatives involved in the filming of JAWS along with the 3 lead actors featured in THE SHARK IS BROKEN.

Nice that the game show Hollywood Squares rented their set to Bruce.

Since I haven't seen either 'Bruce' or 'The Shark Is Broken' I can't say anything about their quality except for this: 'Bruce' is the better title.

It is almost creepy how much he looks like his father, but that was a long time ago.
