It has more than just potential.
Solid, entertaining and well worth the experience.A history lesson intertwined with comedy made the history funnier and the comedy hysterical-I mean historical. The dinner show within a show transports you back to the reign of bit comedy in the 1960s. After a brief history lesson, the duo delivers their interpretation of some of the latest and greats. Then, while you are hypothetically enjoying one of the many mayo based salads, we see Fella and Dame backstage between sets discussing their future and what more they want out of life. Right when you get that itch that this is getting too serious, and you’ve run out of your jello based dessert, we are snapped back onstage for another set. The historical exposition was interesting and I learned quite a bit, but it went on a little long and felt like the script was forcing a few too many sentences into the piece. I found myself jealous of most of her costumes, which were great period pieces. The favorite bit for me was the Mother’s phone call. Fella and Dame are classic caricatures, unchanged by the passing of decades. Meanwhile, Stella Fella couldn’t help but change her wig and dress with the passing of every 7 minutes.
Fun and funny! Could use a little more “snappy dialogue”! Well worth our time!
