The Flying Karamazov Brothers return in triumph to the Minetta Lane Theatre for an open-ended engagement in their hit show 4PLAY tonight Monday, August 9 at 7pm. Previews began on July 22. This follows the show's limited engagement that played the Minetta Lane February 8 through March 7 to popular success. In anticipation of opening night tonight, BroadwayWorld brings you photo coverage of the 'Brothers' in performance below!

A unique blend of music, comedy, dance, theater, and juggling, 4PLAY features The Flying Karamazov Brothers, New York's favorite multi-faceted new-vaudevillians at the apex of their ambidextrous and alliterative ability.

The audience is invited to bring objects to the theater for the Karamazovs to keep airborne in a real challenge that ends either with a pie in the face or a standing ovation, making each show a unique experience and sometimes a messy one. This exuberant and hilarious off-Broadway event is full of charming, fast-paced virtuosity and fun as the four brothers, master practitioners of cheap theatrics, juggle ‘til they drop. Their method combines skills of considerable breadth and depth in a work that is kaleidoscopic, passionate and not one bit silly (ok, maybe a little). The objects, the musical instruments (traditional and invented), and their own bodies combine to make a fresh and compelling evening. This show is made for everyone-kids, adults, students, tourists, theatre goers, the theatre wary, pseudo-intellectuals, dopes, geeks, the upper and lower crust, and even politicians.
