OK, folks out there in the vast hinterlands ... Billi Pod wants to get right to it ... so ...
Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s IRON CURTAIN==>A+
Set in the 1950s, the story follows Murray and Howard, a failed writing team, who are kidnapped and taken to the Soviet Union where they are ordered to fix a Communist propaganda musical that is ultimately called "Damnable Yankees."
It is a hilariously funny musical comedy about show biz, Soviets, and the quest for love.
The cast is spot-on and the show is gut-busting funny as it delightfully takes on the groan, the aside and the pun. The lyrics are awesome!!
My only quibble is that it is a bit long and probably could be trimmed by 15 minutes ... but this is really minor.
I know that you loyal and faithful readers understand that I see a lot, and I mean a lot, of shows ... so ... take my word for this ... I can’t remember when I had as much pure fun at a show as I did last night.
The show has been extended through December 4th and Billi Pod says==>see it.
A warning though -- last night’s show was sold out, with a waiting list ... so ... get to it ...
Billi Pod’s entertainment event for tonight is ...
7:30==>NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA @ Avery Fisher Hall - The program is: “Bach: Concerto for Violin and Oboe; Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 1; and, Mozart: Symphony No. 33.” (Subscription series)
Still have a few errands to finish up ... so ...
GO GATORS!!
