All these years and I have never been to the Little Shubert Theatre on 42nd Street. Now I have. I just wish it were for something a little better. This production clearly represented a lifetime dream to have a show on Broadway. I"m not sure who, but their dream did come true - just not to rave reviews.
This is one of those old people shows. Incontinence jokes, fart jokes, prune juice jokes, and the list goes on and on... and on... Bernie Kopell and Lou Cutell were funny for all of about 15 minutes. Then it got monotonous. We get it already. Jacqueline Tempest (Teresa Ganzel) had a few good lines too. Not exactly the show stealing character i thought she would be. I think the part might have worked better if she had been a zip in, fire off some zingers, and leave. Instead we got to know her. Zzzzzzzz.
To me this seemed like really bad episode of the Golden Girls. You know, one where you are dying to change the channel, but just can't pull away - hoping Blanche will come out with a zinger. Unfortunately, as amusing as both of the actors are, the zinger never came.
