Theater Review: “Mallorca”

Recently I had occasion to see a wonderful play called “Mallorca” at the Abingdon Theatre (312 West 36th Street) in New York City.

The five person cast, consisting of four men, all but one of whom have not communicated nor in any way gone “deep” with his emotions, and one woman was superb.

Written by Sheldon Bull (“Newhart”) and directed by Donald Brenner, the extremely humorous play took me on a journey back and hopefully forward, about expressing what is truly important.

The cast in order of appearance: L.J. Gasner “Stan,” Brian Russell “Leo,” Steven Hauck, “Arthur”, Rory Scholl “Julius” and Lisa Riegel as “Roberta.”

Without giving much away, I related to not being able to open a bag of chips and Gasner came back to the topic beautifully.

Additionally, I became even more outraged as to how expensive tickets to (my words) a meaningless NBA regular season game involving at least one bad team, have become.

Unlike the case with the basketball, “Mallorca” is more than worth the cost, and proved an entertaining and extremely insightful experience.
