Ya Heard It Hear First – Schwartz’s Seconds July 20-Aug 7
Just caught the adorable show “Schwartz’s The Musical” and though I reported on Wednesday that the run ends this Saturday, May 7th, I now have some breaking news.
The show was such a success (added 2 weeks to the original run), that they are bringing it back this summer for another 3 weeks from July 20th to August 7th. On Wednesday evenings, you can even enjoy a Schwartz’s smoked meat sandwich at the theatre.
The show is a must for any Montrealer as Bowser and Blue and Bill Brownstein have written about all our dirty little secrets and in jokes. Loved the repartee using Metro station names! John Dinning’s set is one of the stars of this show with its luncheonette counter piano, talking walls, hidden window to Toronto and “cross on the mountain” roof.
The imaginative use of actors boggles the mind. The stage direction is awesome as they come in and go out as different people, sometimes it seems, at the same time. Bowser and Blue’s score, always with creative wordage, needs a CD for us to take home so we can appreciate the subtleties of their humor.
So if you missed it this time around, make sure to order tickets for Mom for Mother’s Day (or Father’s Day), or for visiting guests this summer or for yourself – and have a truly fun afternoon or evening.
