WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Charley and Moe are widowers, war buddies and life-long pals. For his 77th birthday, rather than sitting around listening to old records, Charley decides that he and Moe need one more crack at sowing some wild oats. Moe is wary, but with the help of one loopy lady of the evening and some black market blue pills, Charley and Moe are in for the birthday party of their lives.

This play was seen on 7/16/10 in the Little Shubert Theater Midtown NYC: I went to this play solely based on the fact that Carol Burnett had seen it and given it a 12 on a scale of 1-10. The play is a beautifully written story about a friendship, between Bernie Kopell who you will remember as Doc from the Love Boat as Moe, and Lou Cutell also one of the writers as Charley, that lasts through the ages. The two friends get hold of some Viagara and a ?lady of the evening? played by Teresa Ganzel who you will absolutely remember as Johnny Carson?s side kick from the Mighty Carson Art Player skits ? and trust me her ?assets? are well played up in her Bob Mackie costumes and laughter ensues. Although the audience absolutely loved this play the acting left much to be desired. The conversations between characters seemed strained and almost forced. Had Moe and Charley really been life long friends the conversations would have been more banter than reading lines in a script, like it seemed. The entire play takes place in Charley?s apartment which is sparsely furnished but believable as Charley?s home. The play is funny, well written and an overall good night out with friends. It?s not a must see but if you?re looking for something to just take you away and make you laugh this is your play. But remember the essence of this play is adult material and although the jokes are not particularly vulgar this play is best suited for an older crowd.

Well, they certainly rolled out all the senior jokes on this one. The premise of the play is pretty slight and the developments fairly predictable. The actors do a good job with less than stellar material. There were certainly many laughs in the theater when I attended so it may just have been my sense of humor that was out of synch but there is a limit to how many prostate, digestive and erectile jokes you can manage in 90 minutes.

Simply put, Viagara Falls, the labored new comedy by Joa Machado and Lou Cutell now at the Little Shubert, is designed to unleash as many senior citizen sex jokes as possible.
The play's fundamental structure is a statement of a line to set up a joke, and then a line to pay it off. Some of the jokes are, in fact, funny; however, most are not. Still, the piece, directed with genial unselfconsciousness by Don Chrichton, and costumed with flair by Bob Mackie, makes no excuses for what it is.
What makes the play at all engaging is the unabashed playfulness of its valiant three-person cast, which includes Cutell, Bernie Kopell, and Teresa Ganzel, all of whom do their damndest to sell their li[...]
