In this off-Broadway one man show, SNL alum
Colin Quinn delves into the story of New York City and of the different people
of diverse nationalities that formed its history.
The pace of this show, which was directed by
Jerry Seinfeld, feels true to what has been said about New York over the years;
it is frenetic. Quinn’s delivery is bound to make your head spin if you are not
ready for it. Problem is, for me, a lot of verbiage was lost in the fray. Also,
I feel like you have to be from NYC or have lived there to fully appreciate
this show.
Still, Colin Quinn had some good lines here
that made me chuckle. I also appreciated the fact that he did not stay
politically correct in addressing various cultures, but it never came off as
hateful. That is an art.
Overall, a show that has its moments, for me,
but I was not the targeted audience, so my view is a little biased.
