WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Looped tells the story of Tallulah Bankhead, the internationally celebrated actress, being called into a sound studio in 1965 to re-record (or "loop") one line of dialogue for what would be her last film -- the dreadful Die, Die My Darling. Southern, but by no means a belle, Ms. Bankhead was known for her wild partying and convention-defying exploits that outshone even today's celebrity bad girls. And given her inebriated state (and inability to loop the line perfectly), what ensues is a hilarious showdown between an uptight and conservative sound editor, Danny Miller, and the outrageous legend.

Matthew Lombardo's play doesn't go far enough into exploring the life of actress Tallulah Bankhead.

Valerie Harper is amazing in this role and the play is wonderful. Its funny and a good story line that kept me interested, engaged, and laughing. The audience loved it. This is one of those rare great theatre experiences. You can trelate how hard acting is and how good it is when you are in the hands of pros. This is a big Wow!

Valerie Harper is wonderful, though painfully limited, but what a terrible play. The play goes nowhere, says nothing, relies on overly conventional stuff about closeted gays and is ultimately a crashing bore. Harpers drag-queen-style impersonation of Tallulah is good for about ten minutes, but since theres really no play here its all about attitude and camp. No surprise the house was only about 3/4 full on a Friday night.
