Amazing performances by all, but especially Laurie Metcalf as the mother (Kate) and Noah Robbins as young Eugene Jerome in his Broadway debut, made for a most fun afternoon. Loved the entire performance and I'm not even Jewish!
It was an very fine and funny show in its time...but its time has passed. Well acted and some funny lines. No compelling reason to do this revival.
Spot on recreation of late-thirties Brooklyn. Wry and moving family comedy. Noah Robbins in Broadway debut stole the show as 15 year old Eugene Morris Jerome, aspiring writer. Set was amazing.
The acting in this show was extremley professional and good. If you either like Neil Simon or lived in Brooklyn and went to Brighton Beach, a must see. Teens and above also a must see if parents from Brooklyn.
The show was incredible and the actors were phenominal!!!!!!!!!!
"Brighton Beach Memoirs" is terrific. Noah Robbins does a superb job....great Broadway debut! Dennis Boutsikaris is perfect as the wise but realistic patriarch. The whole cast works well. Only criticism is that on occasion, lines aren't spoken clearly enough.
I truly enjoyed revisiting Brighton Beach Memoirs.I was reminded about the brilliance of Neil Simon's writing and how an excellent cast can enrich the writing .I was particularly impressed by Noah Robbins,making his broadway debut,and Santino Fontana,who excelled in Billy Elliott.It was an enjoyable evening.I can't wait to revisit Broadway Bound.
i would recommend this with hesitations, funny but not side-splitting, you really have to be Jewish to appreciate this and i would say over 40 or so. second act better than first. the acting was very good!
I saw the play about 20 years ago on Broadway and loved it. The current production is just as good. There were many laughs but also many touching moments. The relationship between the family was wonderful and definately stood the test of time. I will definately recommend it to my friends.
There were parts of a few lines that we missed, but overall even though we were in the rear mezzanine, you could see and hear well. The young Jerome brother stole the show.......terrific comedic timing with his delivery. We enjoyed all the characters. The running joke about going to the grocer was priceless.
Every performer was exceptional, a great show and can't wait to see the follow up
The show was very well done and was true to the original. Young eugene w very well done and very funny. I had seen the original production and I believe this was a notch above that. It showed the true love of a family faced with untold number of problems. We now live in Syracuse so each trip broadway becomes a special event.
A wonderful performance by a perfect ensemble cast. A very funny and yet moving play.
A real story about real people. If you grew up during the depression or lived in a home of depression parents then this show will resonate. Laurie and Dennis perform at a level that can only be described as Tony Award quality, actually the whole cast is there. Did I mention that I saw the first preview; so you can imagine what the show will look by opening night. Neil Simon is a master of the word for the stage and the screen, none better. With the cast that stands on that stage and the words of Mr Simon a wonderful evening at the theater is yours.
The play is about family values - about members of families staying together and working together despite any bad times - the play's setting is in New York City in the late 30s during the depression and before WWII in a Jewish and Irish neighborhood, but could be today with members of families out of work because of the current high unemployment. All the performances were superb.... another Neil Simon hit!
The play was very well cast, the best being Jerome and his mother. Far better than I had expected.
Play was absolutely fantastic. The actor who played Eugene was amazing as was the rest of the cast.
Brighton Beach Memoirs did not disappoint at all! The casting was perfect. The actors were all excellent for the roles in which they were cast. They play moved right along, and I was sorry to see it end. I would recommend anyone see this play.
Brighton Beach Memoirs was very well performed, there was a pretty full house, I like the time and setting of the play, its before my lifetime but easily understandable, my parents lived then. Very funny and a good image of the times portrayed, must have been more provocative when it first came out in the 1980s. Set is amazing with a whole house opened on one side like a doll house and action happening in all the rooms. Will be very glad to see the sequel in about a month.
The first act was better than the first. Very funny. Most of the actors were excellent. However, they all sounded like they came from Boston. They were probably trying to sound like Brooklyn accents, but they failed miserably. The sets were great!!
