One part lasagna, one part kreplach and two parts prozac, My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm in Therapy! is written by Steve Solomon. "I grew up in Brooklyn, so I am thrilled to be bringing the show home to New York," says Solomon. "You don't have to be Jewish or Italian to see this show. All you need is to know what it feels like to leave Thanksgiving dinner with heartburn, a headache and felonious thoughts. And our box office will charge you just a fraction of what your therapist does, so come on down and laugh at someone else¹s family for a change."

Read what our TM Insiders had to say about My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm in Therapy!!
I would not recommend this show at all. First of all, it was NOT A PLAY. It was a stand up comedian doing jokes based upon one theme which was his family. There are no other people and no acting. In a play, the actors do not talk to the audience like this man did. If I wanted to see a stand up comedy routine I would have gone to one. I wanted to see a play and was very disappointed. Also the jokes were so old, most of them were groaners.

Review: Go to the bathroom before the showbyleanjas
I really didnt know what kind of show I would be seeing. From the time the show starts until he moves to the door to leave, it is non stop laughter. He described so many situations that I could identify with and understand that it seemed as if he was clairoyant with respect to my family. I would reccommend this play to any one who wants an evening of pure unadultoried humor. Go see this play. Just go see it.
