FEATURED REVIEWS FOR My First Ex-Husband
My First Ex-Husband
4 / 10
With the exception of Tovah Feldshuh’s “Wigged Out” and to a lesser extent Behar’s “The Touch” the monologues were litanies of boorish and sometimes dangerous behavior with which these women put up. Until they didn’t or until they gave up. If these were stand-up routines each would have lasted a few minutes. As it is, the writing wanders from pillar to post until we lose the thread.
For Those Who Can’t Get Enough of Joy Behar on ‘The View,’ the Comedian Now Has a Play, ‘My First Ex-Husband’
5 / 10
Ms. Behar’s latest venture, fortunately, finds the veteran comedian a little less out of her depth. Titled “My First Ex-Husband,” it consists of eight monologues she crafted after interviewing a diverse group of divorcées. The roughly 90-minute production, directed by Randal Myler, is set to feature a rotating lineup of stars; the first casts Ms. Behar alongside a fellow funny lady, Susie Essman, of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” fame; an “Orange is the New Black” alumna, Adrienne C. Moore; and a stage and screen veteran, Tovah Feldshuh.
