Critics Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Spotlights
Stage Door Theatre is currently presenting a comedic play entitled The Convertible Girl, written by Danny Simon, the brother of famous playwright, Neil Simon.
Taking place in California, the audience is introduced to the two main characters, Christina Fernandez and her boyfriend Ron Greenstein, played by Eileen Faxas and Matthew William Chizever. In the first scene, we learn that Christina has been living with Ron for a year and is moving out every weekend so that his kids didn’t know about her. We also learn that the only reason why Ron won’t marry her is because his mother is and old Jewish mother who is extremely religious and would die upon learning about the marriage because Christina is not Jewish.
Christina decides that she is going to convert to Judaism, and this is where the comedy ensues. Through mispronunciation and misunderstandings, Christina learns the words and traditional customs through her teacher, Jonas, played by Joey Zangardi.
This show was absolutely hysterical. My fellow critic and I have never laughed so much during a show. Also, I have never seen an audience laughing uncontrollably during intermission, than at this show.
Kudos belongs to the entire cast and veteran Stage Door director, Hugh Murphy, who once again, has brought an amazing show to South Florida.
The Convertible Girl will be at the Stage Door Theatre until October 12th. Starting August 29th and playing through October 5th, SDT will also be presenting the longest running musical in Chicago’s history, Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?
