Also Judy Gold is a very, very good stand-up comedian and she brings those talents to the stage at the Cherry Lane. The show also benefits from excellent lighting design.

There is nothing new, or particularly daring, in the content and may not resonate at all with younger theater goers.

It is a relaunch of Gold's successful off-Broadway and national tour of this same show and seems purposed to selling some of Judy's new ventures. Nothing wrong with that, but it is only trying to revitalize old fans.... Read more Read less
