Review: 

 Michael Frayn's Noises Off is the funniest play ever written, especially for those in the theatrical trade, and the current production is hilarious. The star-studded cast, including Patti LuPone, Peter Gallagher, Faith Prince, and the incredible Katie Finneran, whose quadruple-take alone is worth the price of admission, keep us laughing throughout this play about an English theater company on the road. Director Jeremy Sams has invented intricate schtick that constantly dazzles and amazes, and Robert Jones' set and costumes totally fulfill the script. A great time was had by all.

Peter Gallagher (Lloyd Dallas), Richard Easton, Patti LuPone, Faith Prince, Katie Finneran, Robin Weigert.
