Summer is the perfect time for a silly romp on Broadway. Although I always regret not seeing things early in their run when they are more fresh and the audience is more of a "Broadway crowd", I knew this one could wait.
James Corden - indeed a goofy, silly, British wonder-boy extraordinaire! Although Richard Bean's (book) humor was not necessarily my cup of tea, indeed i still laughed quite a lot. The show's "secret" got out early and the producers and director had to adapt a bit to be able to react to the audiences' un-intended participation in a few of the ad-lib bits, but a fine job they did in molding the show even further - - and most of that credit goes to the improv skills of Mr. Corden himself. A true gem on stage.
