BWW Review: Despite Solid Performances, HAZEL was Maid-for-TV, Not Theater

Folks of a certain age might remember Hazel, the spunky, middle-aged maid upon which a 1960s television sitcom was based. Now, 50 years later, she's on stage, taking care of the same family, only this time she's cracking wise via song and dance.

BWW Reviews: WOMEN ARE CRAZY BECAUSE MEN ARE...at Macha Theatre

The title says it all. Women Are Crazy Because Men Are Assholes is an in-your-face sexual comedy that is indeed aggressive with its sexual encounters. As far as the relationships are concerned - there are five couples - there is merely superficial exploration. The characters, with one exception, are exceedingly selfish and self-centered: they want what they want when they want it. If TV sitcoms are your thing, then this play will most definitely make you laugh uproariously, but if you want something extra, the play is not the thing. Currently onstage at the Macha Theatre, despite its flaws, Women... has skilled direction and some delightfully comic performances.
