My expectations would have been met if this were community theater or a repertory theater. The outstanding performance by Marlo Thomas is what I can recommend to others and is memorable for me. I will look for other opportunities to see her perform.
The first piece by COEN was quite good and really not schtick-- It could of done without the dinner scene. The next two one act plays were so good for those of us who are of an age. Elaine May was able to get the part of the self-centered matron just right and Marlo Thomas was just fine in it. Woody Allen is back to his old stuff-- making fun of evrything Jewish and mothers in general-- You have to be open-minded and not mind a lot of screaming -- It's a laugh-ou-t loud event!
Yes.. A "Bomb" has hit Broadway! Given the history of the talent involved this show is just a mistake of the first order. Shame on all those involved! The cast tries hard but the material that they are given to work with is sophmoric, insipid, and poor. Three one act plays which mainly suceed in putting many in the audience to sleep. The best of the worst is the last one by Woody Allen but the one liners fall flat and what could have been a funny experience falls way short. Kudo's to Ari Graynor who is the best in the cast. Shame on the producers who actually had the nerve to bring this show to Broadway and even more gall to actually open... All in all.. a MESS!
Hard to describe how amateurish this was. Trite, cliche ridden and going nowhere are some of the descriptors that come to mind. Ughhh. I've seen better performances in high schools. Talk about trading on one's celebrity. Save your money.
Enjoyed all three one act plays. As the director says, each has a little bit different tone, and all are funny. Really enjoyed Honeymoon Hotel by Woody Allen. Thought Marlo Thomas was great in the second play, George is Dead. That one gave us a lot to think and talk about.
fluff,fluff,fluff coen playlet acceptable,elaine may's uneven and dated,marlo thomas excellent. would have thought woody allen could write comedy with one hand tied behind his back! must have had both hands bound and decided broad,uneven brush strokes could cover up little effort and less of a sense of humor ever. i worry he has lost it!
The acting was excellent, but the first two acts were boring , the third one was better, but nothing to write home about. I don't think this will go down as one of the better shows this season.
Coen's play is a little weird like everything he does. Elaine May has some great characters That seem familiar to everyone & funny Lines. Woody Allen's was hysterical From beginning to end.
Very enjoyable set of shows. Woody's was the best but all three had great moments. While not a "Book of Mormon", Still a very enjoyable evening
Very mediocre...some laughs but old humor. Marlo was swell.
Talking Cure was great until the final scene with Larry's parents. Ethan Coen needed a good editor to advise him to stop when he was ahead. Elaine May's one-act likewise was wonderful until the final scene concerning Michael and Claire's marital problems. Ditto. Woody Allen was close to the quality of mediocre British comedy, but he overreached too many times.
3 one act plays, each with loads of laugh out loud moments, by the great comedic writers with an all star cast. A great evening of theater.
3 1 act plays the first is ok the 2nd is blah the 3 is Great all in all it is not worth it.
