EMOTIONAL, CLEVER, BRILLIANTLY DONE!
by BwaySimon on 10/31/16Walter Kerr Theatre - New YorkSaw Falsettos during previews and going to see again in December. I laughed a lot and cried a lot. Heard about it but wasn't entirely familiar with this show from the 90's not knowing what to expect going in. I absolutely LOVED EVERY SECOND of this show! The end of Act 2 is very sad! The songs are cleverly written and tunefully memorable. The cast is sublime and perfection in every way they interact with each other. Stephanie Block was amazing bringing down the house in "Breaking Down", wow! But the one person who I couldn't stop thinking about days after the show was Mendel, the psychiatrist played by Brandon Uranowitz. Great natural comedic timing WHILE HE SUNG HIS ENTIRE PART but also warm hearted in his neurotic, sweet portrayal of the nebbish family shrink and stepfather to Jason. Mendel literally stole the show! The little boy was excellent. Not over the top obnoxious and was very believable in a complicated role. Kudos! Oh, bring tissues!!!!!
