On Thursday, January, 17th,  Steve Solomon's  My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm In Therapy!  celebrates its 500th performance in New York.  Solomon's hit comedy first opened in a 12-week limited engagement.  Due to popular demand, the show extended twice before announcing an open ended run that continues to play at The Westside Theatre  Downstairs (407 West 43rd Street). The New York production stars Paul Kreppel while Steve Solomon continues to tour cities  throughout the United States  with the production.

"500 performances?  Who would have thought it?" says Solomon,  "When we came to New York, the plan was to stay for three months before taking the show on the road.   But the audiences just coming back and bringing their families with them. So now here we are, nearly a year and a half later. Paul Kreppel is bringing down the house nightly at the Westside Theatre playing the various members of my extended family."

Having headlined throughout the United States and Europe for over twenty years, Steve Solomon and his stories relate to the wacky side of the human condition, combining comic voices, sound effects and astounding characters  - bringing alive a myriad of people from all walks of life.  My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm In Therapy! has toured in over 50 cities around the United States, Canada and Bermuda, playing to sold out audiences and return engagements.

Steve Solomon's My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm In Therapy! plays at The Westside Theatre (407 West 43rd Street, between 9th & 10th Aves.). Performances are Tuesday at 7:00PM, Wednesday – Saturday at 8:00PM with matinees Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 3:00PM.
