First off the Temple of Music and Art in Tucson is a wonderful small venue. The stage is perfectly set and sized for so many types of performances. The Mystery of Irma Vep; I was not very familiar with the story line before entering the theater. The two actors portraying the characters are amazing. The settings were wonderfully designed and build for a two man performance. This is one show were I can not give anything away. GO SEE IT YOURSELF. Two full hours of laughter and joy!
If you are in Tucson this week, take a break from routine and go see The Mystery of Irma Vep put on by the Arizona Theatre Company at the Temple of Music and Art. Fantastic venue, great pre theatre meal at the Temple Lodge cafe, open and airy courtyard, art gallery and beautiful theatre. Now, let's not forget the play, well done, great casts and amazing fast costume changes. For a night of art, enjoyment and great laughs, go see The Mystery of Irma Vep before it ends its run April 30th.
Had a great time.....funny!! Would recommend to friends and family.
Unfortunately that was the worst acting I have witnessed in quite some time!
Overall it was a good interpretation of Neil Simon's play. Very talented actors, although I could not connect with Bella who I found to be irritating at times.
ATC's production of Neil Simon's "Lost in Yonkers" has everything--an outstanding cast, a perfect set, nostalgic music, and, of course, Simon's prize-winning script. Every performer hit the nail squarely on the head, but I was most dazzled by Tucsonans Maxx Carlisle-King and Ryan DeLuca as Artie and Jake, two teen-agers who have to stay with their formidable grandmother. Both young actors gave natural, spontaneous performances at a level I'd expect from seasoned professionals. Judy Kaye gives us "Grandma", a fierce and wounded woman, as she has at San Diego's Old Globe Theater, angry and frightening but also deeply afraid--a difficult job! These three, plus Kate Goehring as a deeply moving and hysterically charming Aunt Bella, carry the show, but that doesn't mean anyone else drops the ball. This is a tremendous show, a great cast, and a wonderful theater. Wherever you are, go see it!
