Solomon's 'Italian + Jewish = Therapy' Extends to April

Steve Solomon's hit one-man comedy My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish and I'm in Therapy has extended its run at The Little Shubert Theatre (422 West 42nd Street, between 9th and 10th Aves) through April 1st

The show, which began previews on November 3rd and opened on December 8th, was originally scheduled to run through January 28th.

"I am thrilled with the response that our show is getting from New York audiences. I suppose with all of the holidays, people are happy to sit back for 90 minutes and laugh at someone else's family for a change. Bring your family to meet my family at The Little Shubert Theatre. A ticket will run you half the price of a therapy session and I promise you that you will laugh more," said Solomon in a press statement.

Rodger Hess, Abby Koffler, Howard Rapp, Arnold Graham and Ed Frankel present the production.  "One part lasagna, one part kreplach and two parts prozac, Italian+Jewish=Therapy is written by and stars Steve Solomon and directed by John Bowab (Legends!, The Unsinkable Molly Brown).

"Having headlined throughout the United States and Europe for over twenty years, Steve's stories relate to the wacky side of the human condition, combining comic voices, sound effects and astounding characters  - bringing alive a myriad of people from all walks of life." The show has toured in over 50 cities around the United States, Canada and Bermuda, playing to sold-out audiences and return engagements.

"It's so exciting to be bringing my show home to New York with such a talented group of professionals--especially my new director, John Bowab," says Solomon. "Now, each and every one of the 30+ characters from my past that I bring to life on stage, can sue me personally for defamation of character. Come to think of it, even my ex's attorney will know where I'll be most nights. …Maybe I should re-think this a bit."
