In this stage adaptation of his
autobiography, comedian Billy Crystal delights the crowd for a couple of hours
with stories about his youth, his family, his mom and dad, the place jazz music
holds in his life, his teenage years and his passage to adulthood. The man is
such a great storyteller: The mannerisms, the facial contortions and the vocal
changes, those are all tools that Crystal uses in a masterful way to get where
he wants to go. This show made me laugh out loud, it made my eyes a little wet
- Damn allergies! – and it then made me smile again. This is well worth seeing,
and, come to think of it, I will most probably watch it again somewhere down
the line.
