WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In his 30-year career, Jay Johnson has converted generations of ventriloquist-avoiding Americans with his charm, anarchy and innovative wit. In Jay Johnson: The Two and Only! he deconstructs and demonstrates his lifelong obsession. Jay Johnson is best known for playing the schizophrenic role of Chuck and Bob on the classic television comedy Soap, and is recognized as one of our foremost ventriloquists. In the show, he takes us on a multi-dimensional journey that combines his skills with a parade of characters that range from a subversive monkey to a withering tennis ball. He is a writer, philosopher, comic, poet, and artist. Jay Johnson: The Two and Only! comes to Broadway after receiving rave reviews during its run at off-Broadway's Atlantic Theatre in 2004.

They emerge out of boxes and baskets that are artfully and strategically strewn across the stage and arranged against the back wall of the Helen Hayes Theatre.
In this sense, the show's title is far too modest; but there's nothing modest about Johnson's talent. More to the point, this production shows off his skills within the context of a graceful autobiographical arc that is packed wi[...]
