See it if you want to see one of the finest one-man shows ever staged. Love discovering fascinating stories of old Hollywood and Broadway.

Don't see it if you can't sit through a 90-minute one-man show or don't love biographical pieces.

Also I didn't have the highest expectations going into the production, but I was BLOWN AWAY. As a character, Zero Mostel is absolutely fascinating. And I can't imagine anyone brining Zero to life better than Jim Brochu. It was seriously one of the finest solo performances I've ever seen. Brochu commands the stage as a force of nature. He perfectly embodies the brash, hysterical, narcissistic, profound, master storyteller who was a giant of his time. The script is beautifully constructed to provide the amazing details of Zero's life as well as historical context to put it all in perspective. I left the theater feeling blessed to have witnessed Brochu's magnificent performance -- and sad that the theater was only 25% filled. I hope word spreads because this show should be playing to packed audiences.... Read more Read less

See it if you like a solo act play about Zero Mostel. It was surprisingly delightful and very funny with great acting

Don't see it if you only like musicals

See it if you can find the 90 mins. I didn't think I needed to see a show about ZM, but I did. Like ZM, the show is very clever and a little annoying.

Don't see it if you demand perfection. Brochu throws away some lines and hits others too hard. Some jokes are tired. Mostly, the evening is delightful.

Also Brochu mugs quite a bit as he follows ZM's lead, but the story still shines through. And what a story it is! The backbone of it is ZM's Jewish upbringing, his marriage to a Catholic beauty, his struggle with McCarthyism, his terrible leg-smashing accident, and his theatrical triumphs. Note that the impressive actor is also the impressive playwright.... Read more Read less
