From the moment we got on line outside, the cast was out there acting manically with the patrons. Once we were seated, the entire time we are waiting for the performance to start is the pre-show, with the actors trying to set everything up and frantically pacing around the set and theatre. It really gives it that crappy, low-budget community theatre vibe.
The show started late (naturally) by about 8 minutes, and the director character had some solid jokes in the beginning referencing a box office snafu and "hoped that the 617 of you here tonight would be okay with our little play instead of *ahem* Hamilton"...said with an almost John Cleese kind of deadpan.
Then the show kicks off and is truly unrelenting and assaultive in the slapstick and farce of the genre and pretty much goes for the full show. Don't look for any sort of plot here, because if you do, you are really kind of missing the point.
Even at the intermission, the director character came up to me and asked me if I saw a "large, yellow man", and I pointed him toward the snack bar, only to have him dragging the yellow man and the butler back to the backstage, with the butler screaming "BUT I JUST WANTED A BAG OF M&Ms!"
