Casting is Odd
29 March 2022
The last and previously only review of this play is far better than something I could've typed up. So I am writing a review to make a comment on something that wasn't covered in the last one by MahoganyEsquire, and that is in regards to the casting here. Shirley and Jackee are only a year apart, with Jackee actually being older, so why in the world are they playing mother and daughter?? And the young son who was supposed to be a pothead looks at least 38, and so does Kevin. But his fiancee/GF Erica is heading off to college, I think? She looks around that age. I'm not sure how old any of the characters are supposed to be, really, and the way their storylines work and the way they were introduced didn't help at all. Over all the plot was weak, the singing mostly just okay, the humor and some of the Cleatus scenes too long and unfunny, and overall this play is very below average, poorly written and actually confusing even if you are paying attention. It's hard to care about any of these characters as hard as the play tries to get you to.
