Viagara Falls is a rare treat, a Broadway play with a Broadway cast and crew. This wonderful play about two old friends, a buxom call girl,
and the miracle of a little blue pill is playing to sold out houses garnering standing ovations.
Viagara Falls
The show takes place entirely in the apartment of Charley Millhouse. It’s his 77th birthday, and this year he wants to do something
special. He’s invited his best friend, Moe Crubbs, over to help celebrate with the help of a few call girls and some black market Viagra.
The trouble is Moe doesn’t want to participate. And one of the call girls has gotten herself arrested. And Charley has a terrible secret he’d rather not share. The result is a heartwarming, deliciously entertaining play.
Without question, the show is extremely funny, from both unexpected and time-tested jokes. That alone is reason to see it. But there is more to Viagara Falls than mere comedy. The show examines the importance of close friendships, the realization that emotions don’t diminish with age, and the idea that feeling wanted can be the difference between living and just existing. Packaged together, these ideas combine to form a wonderful, life-affirming message that speaks to every generation.
The show stars Lou Cutell as Charley, Harold Gould as Moe, and Teresa Ganzel as call girl Jacqueline Tempest. Broadway and television veteran Don Crichton directs, with costumes by the legendary Bob Mackie. All three performers have stage, television and film resumes that could choke a horse, and all are at the top of their game in this
production.
