Todd Haimes Theatre (Broadway)
229 W. 42nd St. New York, NY

Tony Award-winner Andrea Martin (Pippin, Young Frankenstein) makes her Roundabout Theatre Company debut in a rip-roaring new production of Michael Frayn's (Copenhagen) beloved comedy Noises Off!

The Opening Night performance of the farce Nothing On is just hours away, and as the cast stumbles through their final dress rehearsal, things couldn't be going any worse. With lines being forgotten, love triangles unraveling and sardines flying everywhere, it's complete pandemonium- and we haven't even reached intermission! Can the cast pull their act together on the stage even if they can't behind the scenes?

Full of shocking surprises and gut-busting humor, Noises Off is the classic show-within-a-show that "voyages to the outer limits of hilarity" (The New York Times). Two-time Olivier Award nominee Jeremy Herrin (This House) directs.

Roundabout Makes a Slam Dunk With 'Noises Off'
9 / 10

An A-list ensemble, led by beloved comedienne Andrea Martin, takes classic scenes and amps them up. So here, an actor doesn't just fall down a flight of steps -- he flips over a banister with an acrobatic flourish, breaking the handrail right off its balusters. It's the sort of commitment that leaves audiences concerned for the well-being of a performer...Wonderful here, Martin conveys that Dotty Otley, leading lady of the show-within-a-show, is essentially a highly paid showgirl talking down to her character. Torturing every vowel ('saw-dines'), Martin puts her stamp on the script with wiggly-fingered antics...Of Hilty, as inept ingenue Brooke Ashton, let's note: You have to be an excellent actress to play a bad actress...'Noises Off' takes its time building to full-fledged nuttiness. But director Jeremy Herrin ('Wolf Hall') shrewdly pulls off 'Off' with one intermission, combining the traditional second and third acts into one. Things here just flow.

Review: Michael Frayn’s ‘Noises Off’ Returns to Broadway
9 / 10

Keeping the turbulent backstage goings-on at the court of Henry VIII coherent must have been excellent training for orchestrating the intricately ordered chaos of Mr. Frayn's backstage comedy. While some tightening of a bolt here and a screw there might marginally improve matters, once it hits its lively stride, Mr. Herrin's production rollicks along with machine-tooled precision, churning out belly laughs as if from an assembly line...Dazzling though Mr. Frayn's engineering is, 'Noises Off' would be a mere dissertation in clever dramaturgical mechanics, were it not for the expertly drawn characters, here embodied by a first-rate cast well aware of the addictions, indulgences, pretensions and general egotism of actors (some actors!) that Mr. Frayn is gently playing for laughs.

BWW Interview: David Furr Is Banged Up and Bruised in NOISES OFF
by Joseph F. Panarello - February 22, 2016


David Furr has bruises; lots and lots of bruises. In his stellar performance as Gary Lejeune in the current revival of Michael Frayne's hilarious NOISES OFF, Furr slides on a floor scattered with sardines, stumbles down one staircase. slips across a balcony, gets his foot caught in a box of theatrical props, wields a hatchet and falls down yet another staircase which crumbles apart as he does so. It's an understatement to say that his role is physically demanding.
