Theater review: “Clever Little Lies”

“Clever Little Lies” now playing at the Westside Theatre/Upstairs ( 407 West 43rd Street) is uproariously funny and also touches on so many aspects of family and romantic relationships.

The cast is superb! All four performers on stage performed brilliantly in this play by Joe DiPietro.

He wrote so many great lines, the fact we did not call phones, “landlines” in the not too distant past, being a personal highlight.

One can not go wrong starting with Marlo Thomas. How does a graph go off the charts in a positive fashion?

One way, there are few others, is to see someone you adore from her television work, thoughts, charitable endeavors and a personal meeting, and watch her superb comedic timing as evidenced in “Clever Little Lies.” That is the case with the fabulous Ms. Thomas.

Greg Mullavey, who also evokes treasured great performance memories, does so again.

As Marlo’s character “Alice’s” husband “Bill Sr.” Mullavey also gives a tremendous performance, really knocking the humor out of the park.

Playing the younger married couple children of Alice and Bill Sr. both George Merrick as Bill and Kate Wetherhead (Jane) join the humor “hit parade.”

Rarely, have I seen such live performance laughter combined so effectively, with a telling story and perhaps message for all of us.
