Catskills on Broadway

Rating:
Summary: LOL!
Review: When Rip Van Winkle slept in the Catskill Mountains for twenty years, he probably slept like a baby. Chances are he wouldn't have had one night's rest if the likes of Freddie Roman, Mal. Z. Lawrence, and Dick Capri were there. On the contrary, he would have laughed for twenty years straight rather than having slept through them. The cast members, who display much talent in every aspect of comedic sketches, whether it be through singing, acting, criticizing, or just telling a good joke. Freddie Roman is the creator of "Catskills on Broadway." Roman's comedy sketch ranges from senior citizens to using his family members as the ends of his jokes. Roman's humor is not the type to keep you rolling on the floor but everything he says is quite true and the audience can not help but to agree. Such real life sketches and ironic humor include his son, who graduated from the Wharton School of Business with a 3.8 GPA, but got a job at the racetrack shoveling horse leftovers because he didn't know what he wanted to do. There's also the only non-Jewish member of the cast, Dick Capri, an Italian, who ironically does his piece mostly on the Jewish faith and culture. When not giving the audience his two cents worth of sexual satire and the fact that it is just impossible to find good Italian food, Capri throws in a hilarious amount of matrimonial mockery that describes everyone's marriage or parents' marriage perfectly. And of course, there's comedic genius Mal Z. Lawrence, whose sketch ranges from cultural observances to a vast amount of impersonations and critiques of senior citizens. By the time Lawrence goes through five minutes of his routine, the audience will be in an uproar of laughter and applauding for more. Lawrence has a tour de force in his comedic act, which is one of a kind and appropriately ends the night with a bang. Although most stuff may appeal to older generations, the cast members make great use of satire and everyday humor. In doing so, people of all ages can easily relate to what is being said, and although they may not find everything as hilarious as those sitting next to them, one thing is for certain: This show is a one of a kind hit that will please people of all ages.
