I mean, there's not much to say, really. It's not groundbreaking, but the performers are all extremely talented (and the men are... damn) and it's a fun evening.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
Generally, an enjoyable evening. I would estimate that about half of the acts are over-the-top remarkable, while the rest is filler providing varying degrees of entertainment. Highlights include the two "British" gents, the aforementioned Australian in the bathtub (great fun!), and the "Spanish" woman magician, who is quite uninhibited! I also enjoyed the "Singin' in the Rain" number, which I believe featured one of the men from the "British" act. It is truly amazing what the human body can do! If you've already seen the Spiegelworld production, several of these acts will be familiar. It was roughly two hours plus a 15-minute intermission.
I will just warn anyone seeing this that unless you buy premium tickets, the seating is general admission, and except for the mezz, and the last row of general admission seats, there is virtually no rake at all. So, if you end up sitting behind someone taller than you, have fun watching the back of their head all night. PS- we got there at 6:30 for a 7PM show, and even by that point, almost all good seats were gone.
I will add another warning that there is full nudity for one female, but none of the men get completely naked, only down to briefs or soaking wet jeans. A very missed opportunity, especially given the high number of straight women and gay men in the audience.
Was at the 10 pm show on Saturday night. What a fun evening. a group of Navy folks from the USS New York were there and one officer was picked to be the subject of the comic's (buxom blonde) affection. It really was pee in your pants funny. Loved Mario the juggler and his Queen love!
I saw this over the weekend and found it to be very enjoyable. The first act feels a little heavy on the more impressive acts. Think they need to do a little shuffling because the second act is kind of a buzzkill after you seen the comedic scene, bathtub act and naked woman. Speaking of which, it seemed a little wrong to have a naked woman go on right after the bathtub act. Everyone (the audience was mainly straight women and gay men) was all hot and bothered by him so they didn't seem to care as much for the bush on display.
A few notes on the seating, doors don't open until a little after 6:30 so I'm not sure how all the "good" seats could have been gone by then. If you're sitting in the front row then you will be given a tarp to keep you somewhat dry during the bathtub act. Keep this in mind if you have anything under your seat as well because there is a fair amount of water. As sitting in the first two rows you are ripe for the picking during the many moments of audience participation some of which are either long or terrifying if you're chosen.
I'll probably go back because it seems like there is enough that can change during each viewing.

I had a blast! Got picked on a few times and ended up in a tongue kiss that left my tongue...ashy! Had the nude midsection thrust in my face. Got a big kiss during the curtain call for being a good sport. Not an earth shattering show but a great evening of fun.
