Longacre Theatre
Nov 3, 2PM performance
Maybe I'm getting less critical in my old age, but I thoroughly enjoyed this campy, throwback - or perhaps homage is a better term - to those adult sitcoms of the seventies like Laugh-In and Three's Company. Of course, it is the 2010s so there's way more skin and the audience barely blushes at the four-letter obscenities or various references to sex organs, but in the end (no pun intended), it's a fun and lighthearted romantic comedy. But instead of the usual quirky housewife or floundering thirty-something, the main couple happen to be porn stars. Why not? Beats seeing Katherine Heigl in another mediocre attempt at resuscitating her career.

This is not Death of a Salesman, but doesn't pretend to be. Anyone expecting anything other than a fluffy comedy need look no further than the show's ad.
Sadly, the show closed only after seven performances. A shame, considering the very mixed crowd (gays, couples and seniors - no doubt enticed (tricked?) into buying tickets thinking they were getting to see "The Fonz" take a crack at Lear or Prospero) seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. Oh well, I'm glad I had the opportunity to see Mr. Winkler pelvic thrust the audience and say "donkey dick" on stage - well worth the price of admission.
