^ 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.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

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.
