Review:
If you want to see a show with a moving, heart-warming story, great jokes performed by a master comedian with the rare sense of timing only a few of the greatest have, a show without a moment that isn't entertaining, go see Say Goodnight, Gracie, written by Rupert Holmes and starring the incomparable Frank Gorshin. Aided by the wonderful Didi Conn as the voice of Gracie, this show, about 100 year old comedian George Burns and his adventures in romance and show business, directed by John Tillinger, is captivating, joyous, brilliant comedy. What more can I say?
