Avg. Event Rating (4.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Broadway ballyhoo meets Hollywood hustle aboard the Twentieth Century Limited, the legendary locomotive that plays streamlined host to this classic screwball comedy from the 1930s. Polished to a deco sparkle by Tony Award-winning farceur Ken Ludwig, it matches an on-the-outs impresario with a mercurial silver screen starlet in a madcap battle of the sexes, hurtling from havoc to hilarity on the disorient express. “A thrilling funhouse ride!” - The New Yorker

By Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur. Based on a play by Charles Bruce Milholland. Adapted by Ken Ludwig.

    Funny, sharp, screwball and gorgeous comedy. So well executed in every way. Stellar cast and designers. A feel-good evening of wonderful theatre!

    This show is certainly predictable, and not a brain buster but still a nice effort. The set and costuming is almost worth it alone. Clever stuff if you like old fashioned comedy....
