Funny Face

See it if you need an antidote to debates, if you love Gershwin, if you want to see how much magic can be wrought on a tiny stage with talented folks.

Don't see it if The charm and simplicity of old musicals completely eludes you, or if helicopters, falling chandeliers or bad language are necessary.

Also Who would expect so much joy in less than two hours? This group ALWAYS delivers the goods, and if Encores and the Mufti series make you happy, this series is a must.

For such a small, low-budget company, it's shocking how gorgeous the costumes (and the actors!) were. Choreography was a knock out, and even the lighting thrilled me. These young people respected the integrity of the era in which this show was written and give it their all. I gave this a very high score because I can't imagine how much more joy could have been evoked from this piece, and my hat is off to Musicals Tonight! for doing so much on what I'm sure is a shoestring budget.

And, bring your stub to the diner on the corner for a discount on your meal. As the Gershwins have said: Who could ask for anything more!... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You haven't the patience for old-timey musicals - the story is nothing you haven't seen before, a very standard musical rom-com.

Also The end got grating, as they reprised every single Act 1 song for three lines, but until the end the time flies by.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if There really isn't a good excuse for not seeing it.

Also While seeing Musicals Tonight productions through the years I've always been disappointed at the lack of young people in the audience. I have to admire all the old people, canes and all, that see the shows: but, why aren't younger people, and especially theatre students, seeing these shows? It's part of history. it's a part of training and if nothing else, it's fun.... Read more Read less

See it if You love Gershwin! This is filled with favorites! Earnest young cast, with extremely talented supporting actors. Sweet period piece.

Don't see it if you don't like an intimate house played like it was a 2000 seat theatre by the female lead. Way too much mugging! Nevertheless, great music!

Also This is based on the original play, not the 1957 movie that did updates and rewrites.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you don't like dated shows with songs shoe-horned in, even if they are Gershwin. Or want a full scale production.

See it if you want to hear some great Gershwin tunes and lyrics. The script is silly, but the songs are s'wonderful. The small stage is well used.

Don't see it if you require all-round top performers. The women are generally much stronger than the men. Still, you get a lot for your entertainment buck.

Also Musicals Tonight, like Encores, revives forgotten works, often with great songs, but so-so scripts. The plot is a mess, but who cares?... Read more Read less
