Larry Gelbart News

Heartwarming and hilarious, the musical theatre adaption of TOOTSIE has its Australian Premiere at Teatro At The Italian Forum. 

Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor and director David Hyde Pierce has joined the cast of Better Late, written by Larry Gelbart and directed by Susan Stroman at The Plaza Theatre.

Neil Simon’s LAUGHTER ON THE 23rd FLOOR is a brilliant comedy with a great deal of bite, but without the underlying tone of sexism aimed at entitled women that Simon’s work sometimes displays. Desert Theatreworks (DTW) presents a top-notch production with an A-list cast that more than does justice to the script. I found the production hilarious and urge everyone to attend.
