Wife, Sherry; Academy Award-winning friend, Lynn; and I went to see "Gettin' the Band Back Together," Ken Davenport's new musical, on Friday.
Warning: You should only go see this show if you want to laugh for 2.5 hours straight.
It best compares in tone to the movie "Dodgeball." The humor is silly fun and so often comes from somewhere unexpected. With the exception of Marilu Henner, it's a cast of people you've not seen a lot of and they're great.
Ken is a producer and creator--an impresario, I guess--who shares his knowledge so very generously with people trying to make it in commercial theater. Support him, and go see his show. It's that rarest of rarities--a completely original Broadway musical. It's not based on anything but a good idea. It's light, frothy and a lot of fun.
