I recently read a fantastic review of Joan River’s new play which opened last Wednesday in L.A. at the Geffen Playhouse. You gotta’ give credit to Ms. Rivers for creating a persona that has permeated the entertainment industry and remained strong. She knows who she is and the public knows who she is.

For her show, she’s able to rely on years of stand-up experience. Veteran comedians understand their craft so well that they’re capable of working their audiences in a way that young comedians couldn’t dream of. Comedy is an art form and it’s a craft, and it takes real experience to know how to do it well. According to reviewer, James Sims, Rivers is one of those comedians. She really “gets it.” He says:

“She understands that her humor is not what some might consider “high brow,” rather she is a comedienne of the people, even if she doesn’t quite resemble any person living today, thanks to far too many trips under the knife. With the nearly rolling in the aisles response from the opening night crowd, it is obvious Rivers has once again connected with her base, a demographic that oddly enough no television network executive seems to believe exists.”

If the theater is your thing, you’ll probably want to check this out. If you’re looking for Broadway tickets online, click on the link.
