What a great show! It was hysterical. The cast is really great together and I think I might go again, and I have never been to dodger stages before and I really like the theater. It made me sad to see all the signs for bare though. Oh well, here's my review.

The story: Very well done. The fact that it is a Jewish comedy doesn't neccesarily mean one has to be Jewish to enjoy it. The comedy is far reaching and the show is an hour and a half of laughs.

The actors:
Jason Biggs-hysterical! His characterization is amazing. He is a great physical comedian, and a great character actor, which one doesn't really draw from his television and movie work.

Craig Bierko-flawless.

Molly Ringwald-good, still had a little bit of her brat-pack teenagerisms with her, but it completely worked for the character. She looks great too.

Jenn Harris-so cute! She was hysterical. She really had her character down pat. Great comedic timing.

The set was really awsome too, and functional. Great show, I highly suggest it.

Craig Bierko is PERFECT. He is wonderful. I just don't get what people like about this show.
If it were not for Bierko, I would have exited stage left.

Corine, are you Jewish? Not to be rude, but I think you would enjoy it more if you were.

Am i Jewish? LOL.
Yes Honey! I am not religious but i sat with some very religious women who thought it was the most ludicrous, ridiculous show they have ever seen.
It was so stupid, I was offended.
But the acting was wonderful and I love Craig Bierko. He can do better. Updated On: 12/31/04 at 04:57 PM

A strained sitcom plot...but Jenn Harris was worth the price of admission....besides not much else in town is very funny.

"Not much in town is very funny"
Anything is funnier then Modern Orthodox. Check out Forbidden Broadway Special Victims Unit.

Modern Orthodox is only good for staring at the gorgeous Craig Bierko and wondering why such a talented man would waste his time in such dreck. Updated On: 1/1/05 at 12:54 PM
