Stuffed

See it if you enjoy the humor of Lisa Lampanelli who is hilarious. Well staged and written. Good skits about weight gain and loss. Talented cast.

Don't see it if you don't like stories about weight gain or loss or the humor of Lisa Lampanelli.

Also If you buy seats to this production, do not get seats on the side since their is a pole obstruction in your view. You can still enjoy the show, which I did, but if you can avoid the poles, do so.... Read more Read less

See it if it's re-worked AGAIN for its third reincarnation. The weakest parts of the show were each scene-break when Lisa did her stand-up shtick.

Don't see it if you don't like raunchy (but real) humor. I'm not a Lampanelli fan AT ALL, yet I enjoyed the writing. Good jokes, and solid serious moments.

Also No clue what possessed me to go.

Oh yeah: four discount tickets for closing night. We LOL'd throughout. I probably groaned more, but I DID laugh a lot.

Strongest performance was Marsha Blake ("Katey"). Especially enjoyed her non-appreciative reactions (facial & vocal) to Lampanelli's feeble attempts at young/hip street-vernacular.

Lampanelli's acting is still rough around the edges (it's her first show!). She's not able to stay in character. Her timing is harsh; her "reaction" within dialogue is non-existent. She doesn't "listen" to the other actresses. She's rehearsed to respond with her lines, & that's just what she does. Like she's double-dutching, nervously anticipating, weaving back-n-forth, waiting to jump in when it's HER turn to speak. She stuck out like a sore thumb.

I've never liked her stand-up. Too angry, brash & crude. Ironically, comparing her stand-up now (NOT this show) to before she lost all the weight, I found her funnier back then, when she was fat. Go figure.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if Food issues really annoy you

See it if you've ever dieted or had any food issues. You'll identify w/the talented actors & laugh like crazy. But you'll also be moved by sad stories

Don't see it if You need a linear story line. You're not interested in personal sad stories. But, these characters all live and thrive on stage.

See it if you can relate to food/eating issues. This show touches on the various ways that food sometimes rules our lives.Funny, self-analyzing show!

Don't see it if you can't relate to food/eating issues.

See it if You like Lisa Lampanelli's raunchy comedy, or have struggled with body/weight issues. You're female, or don't mind show featuring all women.

Don't see it if You like sophisticated comedy, and not in a revue motif. You don't enjoy a show featuring an all-female cast and subject of food & weight.

Also The show is ambitious but really needs to be edited.
Also better pacing to work in the four individual stories, starting the first one sooner.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you want a clever comedy, good acting

Don't see it if you don't like 'stupid' funny or if you want more substance-It feels like they almost got at something interesting but it didn't make it.

See it if You want a good laugh.

Don't see it if If your humor is dry.

See it if you want to waste time & money. This show has ADD; it flits from one conceit to another w/no wisdom and little humor. I was bored & angry.

Don't see it if you have respect for women. The food obsession wears thin. Only likable part is LL's solo about her BF. I would've happily skipped this show

Also I thought, since Stuffed was moved into a bigger theater, that it must be worthy, but it isn't. I could find little redeemable, except for Lampanelli's romantic story, which takes about 10 minutes total.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a professional comic, Lisa Lampanelli, delivering one-liners about her weight that convulse the audience

Don't see it if other 3 characters are forgettable stereotypes; can't wait for them to make way for Lisa L and her zingers
