Since this comes up so often, and Corine mentions it each time, the Jackie Mason musical was named Laughing Room Only.

don't kill me but Our Town.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

Fame was pretty bad, but the cast were terrific.
Namo, did you see Laughing Room Only? (Thanks Macgruder)
FOA-
I loved old shows of Jackie Mason. But his musical, was so wretched and offensive I wanted to hide. He was so bigoted,
it made me want to purge. Purge on him!
OY.

Naming "Our Town" just means that Zippyjen has never had to suffer through a few dozen travesties I can think of off the top of my head. Even the absolute worst and most utterly incompetent production of "Our Town" is better by leaps and bounds than Ivo van Hove's "Alice In Bed" at NYTW a few years ago which after about 30 mintues of it, made me seriously contemplate doing an Oedipus and plucking out my own eyes right there in the 5th row, rather than sitting there and having to look at one more minute of it.

No Foa,
It gets better. I saw Jackie Mason's wretched "Laughing Room Only" on Thanksgiving. I had dinner with my best friend in the whole world and then left to see this show.
I left my friend to see this train wreck. I was pissed. Updated On: 1/18/05 at 06:35 PM

What on earth was it about? It looked like a review of some sorts. That's so sad cuz I've seen him do stand up live and he's hysterical.
