Mason author & director
Cast Jackie Mason
Review We've tried, but
we can't keep Jackie Mason away from Broadway. He's attracted to it
as is a moth to a flame. We keep waiting for the crash and burn but
it never comes. He and the audiences he knows so well revel in his
not quite unique brand of comedy delivered in his rat-a-tat-tat New
York style. Run into him after the show and he'll let you buy him a
drink. Or dinner. Or dinner and a drink. Or dinner and a drink and a
bit of music. And a tip for the piano player. And cab fare. And . .
.
It would be well worth the price. Get
ready to laugh, for Mr Mason is a funny man. In his new show he
covers virtually everything concerning people today: politics
through business, food to New York City taxi drivers, and new
technology through show business (including some of his vintage
impressions of Sinatra and Crosby). His routines are as pointed as
Don Rickles but, delivered in Mr Mason's "I'm a New Yorker so I
can say this" style, are not as jarring to politically correct
sensibilities. Laugh at yourself, laugh at your aunt, laugh at your
neighbor, laugh at Hillary and Bill
Bottom Line Leave the theater
laughing. Then hoist a drink to Jackie and laugh some more when you
find out who's picking up the check
