In complete agreement with Growl on this turkey. It's just not a play; it's something some guy sat down and put on paper for no particular reason. The playwright has nothing to say here.
The night I went was one of those unending unbearable embarrassments - about 100 people in the house and maybe 5 of them (the type who'll laugh at anything, provided it's telegraphed clearly enough) laughing sporadically, while everyone else sat in stony silence.
During the curtain call, Jay Armstrong Johnson (mutton dressed as lamb), glowered angrily at the audience, as though it were our fault that he's bad in a bad play. Fortunately for him, he's cute enough to keep getting hired (particularly if he keeps taking his clothes off - a pretty body makes up for bad acting with a lot of guys). The less said about the rest of the cast, the better; it's a job for them to forget as soon as the piece closes.
