The News In Revue

"...often hilarious brickbats in words, song and dance."

Revisit/Review from Ronald K. Baker at NewBerkshire.com:

"Not only does this crew continually hone their material to incorporate some of the most current stuff available but they also improvise on their standard material playing off each other on a moment by moment basis. Hence they have a spontaneity that makes each night something truly special… It remained a struggle not to laugh excessively in order not to miss out on a single syllable of the cutting satire…Get thee to the 'funnery.'”

Review from J. Peter Bergman at BerkshireBrightFocus.com:

"The show is played at a hectic pace by four extremely talented comic actor/singer/dancers, led by a veteran of the show, and its creator’s co-director, Jay Falzone."

An excerpt from a recent review:

"The vocals went from superior to beyond as the players showed off three part harmony worthy of The Manhattan Transfer. Just when you thought you’d seen it all, then came tap dancing and choreography wherein the disposal of props from previous skits went seamlessly. This crew is something to behold. The background music was flawless and well balanced. It featured a tour de force by Brent Frederick, musical director and accompanist on keyboard, during a political rally by Al Sharpton for Barak Obama."
