Billi Pod Says==>You Gotta See IRON CURTAIN

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!!
