Feature: Top Talent at Wall Street Theater in Norwalk

Are you looking for a terrific place to go for date night, girls' night out, birthday celebration, or just have a great time? Then it's time to discover the Wall Street Theater in Norwalk. BroadwayWorld was curious about it and popped in to see one of its shows in the BMW of Darien Comedy Series lineup. It blew us away!

Most of the Wall Street Theater's live shows are concerts, but if the comedy night we saw is indicative of the caliber of performers it attracts, we're ready for more. The most recent show in the comedy line up featured multi-award winning comediennes, actors, writers, and podcasters Judy Gold (www.judygold.com) and Jessica Kirson (www.jessicakirson.com). Previous comedy acts included performances by Krystyna Hutchinson and Corrine Fisher. We're not talking about people who think they're comedians or just trying out material for an aspiring career in comedy. Gold and Kirson are in a completely different stratosphere when it comes to stand-up comedy with their take-no-prisoners performances. Nothing and no one is sacred. Kirson is frenetically funny and unparalleled when imitating teenage girls and old women. Gold, a noted advocated for Israel, LGBTQ+ rights, and various organizations, is the inarguably the queen of political incorrectness. Their performances are not the kind that's expected in polite suburbia, but they're truly top-notch, and that's the kind of entertainment Fairfield County's residents want without having to shlep to the city to get.

Oscar winner Geena Davis will appear on October 12 to celebrate her new book, Dying of Politeness. Australia's Thunder from Down Under (Girl's Night Outback with male strippers!) will take place on November 23. Magic - A Ballroom Musical: Where Ballroom meets Broadway will be presented as an early Christmas show on November 26.
