Knock It Off!: A Farce

See it if You laugh at offensive things. Have a twisted sense of humor. Love Carol Burnette.

Don't see it if You are easily offended.

See it if You want a show that will have you laughing non stop, with a great cast and much slapstick.

Don't see it if Hilarious theatre is not your thing, if you're not a fan of the 70's, if you're offended by the theme of abortion. Or just offend easily.

Also I've seen this twice. I found it to be hilarious. It's amazing what a writer can do with sensitive themes & turn it around so that people can laugh instead. Amazing cast pull off 2 hours of non stop laughter. It needs to be extended so that others can see it too. As a side note: all the actors are really good. But I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Karen Lynn Gorney - who played Stephanie, Tony Manero's (John Travolta) love interest in Saturday Night Fever also has a part in this show. And you would never guess who it is. It was a nice connection to the 70's for me, and the fact that the show takes place in the 70's was nice too.
Please go see it! Trek down to 1st Ave and support this show and Theater for the New City. It will be worth it!... Read more Read less

See it if You want two hours of non-stop laughter.

Don't see it if You don’t like 70’s shows, and want to avoid highly controversial issues

See it if You enjoy farce and need some laughs these days.

Don't see it if If you tend to be a stick in the mud.

See it if Puerile madcap slamming-door sex romp that sustains the zany through the two-plus hrs. Gyno dr.'s waiting room supports plot.Big Film Star.

Don't see it if The puerile madcap slamming-door sex romp peters out on the zany after two-plus hrs. Holocaust humour. Plot is too complicated. Meta. TFTNC.

Also "There's that German optimism that I love so well."

See it if Strong performers in a funny, funny farce of the classic style, slamming doors, mistaken identities, sexiness interests you. :)

Don't see it if You want seriousness and no laughs. ;(

See it if you like slamming door farces

Don't see it if you don't like frenzied action

Also A slamming door farce like Noises Off only not as professional.
One of the actresses plays 3 parts and it is amazing how she changes clothes so quickly (the dressers get their own bow, as they well deserve). It's pretty funny if you stay until the end, with, spoiler alert, lots of happy endings.... Read more Read less

See it if you like very silly plays and aren't easily offended.

Don't see it if you want a consistently funny show.

Also The show has some great acting (one person plays three roles at once) and some funny moments (yes, the Holocaust survivor is one of the best and funniest characters). It's just not as consistently funny as I had hoped it would be. It's often silly, but not in a very entertaining way.... Read more Read less

See it if have 2 hours to waste. I have never left a show before, and me and my friends left at intermission. All of us hated it, not even one joke.

Don't see it if just don't. I can't understand how anyone could have enjoyed this show. Was over acted, bad writing, just plain dumb. Waste of time.

Also Nothing worked in this show. This wasn't even Abbott and Costello type slapstick humor. I usually find a bright side for every show I see and write about that vs the negatives, but I couldn't even find anything positive on this. The show said 2 hours, and it didn't hit intermission until like 1:15 mins in. We didn't want to waste more of our time. The writing on this show was just bad. I expected the audience to be laughing but I think more were in shock. The show tries to hit upon all different stereotypes. You have black jokes, Jewish jokes/Holocaust jokes, etc. I am far from sensitive on these subject matters, like South Park is one of the most offensive in this category and one of my favorites. This show was just blatant racist. Each character just didn't make any sense, each one was worse than the others. I apologize to the actors for this review, but I would be embarrassed to have this show on your resume. Had high hopes after reading other member reviews, but they must be fake.... Read more Read less
