This is the second time I've seen the play and I loved it as much or more than the first. The acting of all the actors is incredible. You don't stop laughing for a minute. I would come back again tomorrow.

From beginning to end there were so many funny moments that we did not stop laughing during the whole show. Everything was super controlled, although it seemed that nothing was controlled. Very funny and I wouldn't mind seeing it again with my son and husband who didn't see it.
