Bullets Over Broadway at Pantages Theatre

Bullets Over Broadway

Pantages Theatre
6233 Hollywood Blvd. Hollywood

Playwright David Shayne is struggling to make ends meet, so when he gets the opportunity to put his show on Broadway he jumps at the chance. The only catch? The production is being bankrolled by mobster Nick Valenti, who demands that his thunderingly untalented showgirl girlfriend Olive Neal play the lead role. Couple this with the slight issue of Shayne's play not being too great in the first place, and you have a 24 carat-gold Broadway flop on the cards - and Nick Valenti does not like flops! Fortunately, Olive's bodyguard Cheech has a few suggestions that might just avert disaster.

"...what is accomplished with the old standards aiding in moving the story forward, kind of like in Mamma Mia, works damn well. It's fun, ear and eye-filling entertainment!"

"...If Bullets Over Broadway tends to miss its target, it's okay because it's still so gratifying when a musical's often overlooked ensemble hits the ol' proverbial bull's-eye over and over again."

Frontiers - Somewhat Recommended

"...Despite the evening's many high points and the superb performances and staging, the proceedings start to feel redundant and occasionally draggy after intermission. Yet that's a small price to pay for the zesty fun that dominates the evening."

"..."Bullets"� is froth delivered with a bam. The surface is highly polished. If you think about it a month later, you are most likely to remember "Ain't Nobody's Bizniss."� Go for the costumes, the sets, and the setting. The dancing and music will satisfy. Nuance and subtlety are best found elsewhere."

"...Do I recommend going? It is a mindless afternoon diversion - go for the familiar music and the dancing, but don't expect depth of story or characterization, or anything resembling a modern musical."
