THE NUNS JOKE IS IN VERY POOR TASTE

The overall show was good. The depiction of dysfunctional family dynamics is what the show is really about. The jokes were for the most part Borscht Belt. if you didn't grow up in this era or are not Jewish, or from New York City, there are many you won't get. This show is decidedly New York. It won't go over well in Des Moines. It probably isn't meant to. The nuns joke is especially loathsome, unfunny, offensive and in bad taste. It should be removed from the show.. No loss.

SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A MUSICAL

Saw the show. The dialogue is great but every time there was comedic momentum they broke out into a song. The songs were horrible. The lyrics were forced and as if written fit a high school production. And the only one with a decent voice was Chasten something who played the agent. It also was too long. This should have been a 2 hour play NOT a nearly 3 hour musical!

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY

Saw this show tonight. 10 mi utes in I was getting antsy in my seat. Script was predictable, slow at times, and didn’t warrant a Broadway stage. It’s about a Jewish washed up comedian trying to make a comeback. Meh!

DON’T BOTHER

Love Billy Crystal but he should stick to Stand up comedy. Blechhhh. Tedious. Boring. Silly. Don’t waste your time or money.

NOT WORTH THE TIME OR MONEY

Maybe we missed an inside joke, but as 30-and-40-something’s, we felt half a century too young to be amused by this show. Slow pacing, jokes that fell flat. Umpteen breaks for applause for the stars- one wonders if this show was made as an excuse for the real star to be in the Broadway spotlight once more, not unlike his character. I can’t speak for the entire show as we (discretely) exited at a scene break sometime before intermission, but they lost us only a few scenes in. For me, I’ll stick to Billy’s older movies; the theme of “washed up old performer trying to regain his fame” hit a little too close to home for laughs. On to the next ..

NOT WORTH THE MONEY NOR TIME

I don't find most of the jokes funny maybe because of the age gap but if this is a comedy musical on Broadway they should be able to make everyone laugh regardless of the age differences. Two girls that are my age left during intermission so I think that really prove my point. I felt like it is more like a fan meeting for people to meet Billy Crystal, people that are laughing to the jokes are mainly in their 50s or 60s. As a musical the songs are terrible and it does not have to be a musical. And the show time is toooo long I kept checking time to see when this is going to end and it seems it will take forever.

BORING AND TOO LONG

There were a few funny lines and some people did laugh more than others. I thought it was way to long should a have been 90 minutes at most and I did not find that much of it funny. Don’t wast your time or money. See something else.
