ROOM SERVICE at Vagabond Players
ROOM SERVICE at Vagabond Players
Jan. 10 Feb. 2, 2025
Vagabond Players continues its 109th season with a great American farce, ROOM SERVICE, written by John Murray and Allen Boretz, and directed by Steve Goldklang.
You’re invited to check into Suite 904 of the Empire Hotel, where penniless Broadway producer and gifted con man Gordon Miller is desperately trying to raise the cash needed to avoid having his cast and crew (in rehearsal for his next production) evicted and the entire show shut down. Armed with a nonstop load of double-talk, Gordon does battle with a bullying hotel executive, a pompous physician, a determined collection agency clerk and a paranoid attorney to ensure that the show must go on! The laughs don’t stop coming in this deliciously delirious and delectable show biz comedy that became an acclaimed Marx Brothers movie.
Like most farces, the play relies on snappy dialogue, slapstick comedy, and a wickedly fast pace
the apparent chaos masks a tightly written play
absolutely as good as it gets. – CURTAIN UP
If you are in the mood for a fun frolic through the era that brought us Bogart and Bette Davis, Chaplin and Hepburn and Mae West, then you are really in for a treat! It’s a great story with more twists and turns than you can shake a stick at. – NOHOARTSDISTRTICT.COM
