I caught this show yesterday because I thought :this might be good. I was wrong. The play a bad play not knowing if it wants to be a serious play about "outsourcing" emotional and literal or if its a sitcom about a neurotic woman and her dysfunctional relationships with everyone she encounters. Worse than that was the quality of the production from the cheap set, the lousy and relentless musical underscoring and the amatuerish performances to the of-so- dim lighting. The Park Theatre is usually pretty choosy about the shows they book in but this was a loser.

I've had my eye on this but have seen very mixed reviews, though definitely more which say it's enjoyable even if a bit of a hotch-potch and tries to cram in too many issues. I've never had any complaints about the sets at the Park, and they are often quite minimal or basic in the smaller space, but unlike you, dlevi, I do think the quality of programming varies. I'd still give this a go if I could fit it in and I'm mindful that the offer @theatremonkey.com lists on his site expires this coming Saturday. |

I've no problem with minimal sets and Lord knows I'm sympathetic to small budgets, but these were particularly cheap and uninventive. I haven't seen any of the reviews. I'll seek them out.
