"OLD JEWS TELLING JOKES"--play

"OLD JEWS TELLING JOKES"- 

OY!!!!!

A NEW PLAY -OFF BROADWAY-AT THE WESTSIDE THEATER, NYC.

A LAUGH ABOUT EVERY OTHER MINUTE. IF YOU CAN GET TIX FOR UNDER $60-RUN!!!

OVERALL A NIGHT OF BELLY-ACHING LAUGHS WITH RECYCLED TRADITIONAL, BORSCHT BELT MATERIAL INSERTED WITH SOME GOOD NEW ONES (don't let the "old" fool you, some jokes are very dirty--fun!)

ALONG WITH SOME LEGENDARY OLDER COMICS, (MARILYN SOKOL HAS HER "PHONE" SKITS AT THE SMITHSONIAN IN DC), TWO YOUNGER ACTORS ADD A CONTEMPORARY ELEMENT.

THE CAST CONSISTS OF:  Audrey Lynn Weston, Marilyn Sokol, Lenny Wolpe, Todd Susman and Bill Army-all of them more than qualify for this type of  play.

The pacing is amazing, from gags, to straight-on jokes, songs and even autobiographical memories of how & why comedy came into their lives & the healing effect of it. I CONCUR!

It's about 90 minutes of fun.

I highly recommend it, but again if you can get it (and you can with GOLDSTAR & other discounted sites) for $60 or under.

Except for one usherette & the concession guy, the staff can use some manners--this was my only complaint; they made me "Meschugenah!"

Thanks Danny!
