Good, Bad or indifferent, thanks

Saw this show awhile back with Mark Hamill and Polly Bergen. At best it is OK. The idea of the showis interesting, but the second act needed a lot of work (to put it nicely). The talent was good it was the material that was lacking.
Should you see it? Well that depends on who is in the show and the cost. If there is someone in the show who you would love to see and the cost is low then yes, otherwise give it a pass. Hope this helps.
The show is about an aging former chorus boy, and an elderly widow.

Mominator meant to type "Mark Hamill" (Star Wars).
The hsow originated in California with David Hyde Pierce and Uta Hagen. They were supposed to take it to Broadway, then Ms. Hagen became ill. It evenual;ly opened on Broadway with Mark Hamill and Rue McClanahan, where it got terrible reviews and closed quickly.

Posted: 3/13/06 at 9:09amPolly was terrific in this show! In fact, she has been wonderful in just about everything from the 1950s through her present role on Commander-in-Chief. A multi-talented lady!!!
