Get thee to the Roxy before July 14th!!! A friend and I attended the performance last evening and were delighted by it. I'd never been to the Roxy before, and while my seat sloped at an 'interesting' angle, the sight-lines were wonderful. The acting is superb, though I have to admit that the polish, timing, and professionalism of Gwynyth Walsh's performance was really stellar. I don't imagine Jonathan Mason will be around for long: he has that wonderful combination of classically handsome looks, a rich, warm voice and superb comic timing that will make him a favourite wherever he takes his talents. Laura-Jane Tressider ran the gamut of emotions very effectively and persuasively. Neil Simon's writing has withstood the test of time beautifully: the audience was laughing out loud constantly, which I'm sure makes things much easier and more rewarding for the company. I'll be subscribing to the Blue Bridge from now on, based on the strength of this performance. Consider dinner at the 5th Street Bar and Grill before hand---the food was excellent! You'll also have a good choice of parking venues on a week night.
