Regrets Only

Regrets Only
Manhattan Theater Club at City Center
131 West 55th Street
New York, New York 10019



"A delicious new comedy of Manhattan manners, exploring the very latest topics in marriage and friendship. The setting: a Park Avenue penthouse. The players: a powerhouse attorney, his deliriously social wife and their closest friend, one of the world's most staggeringly successful fashion designers. Add a daughter's engagement, some major gowns, the President of the United States, and stir."

We just saw "Regrets Only", a Manhattan Theater Club production. We enjoyed it immensely. It reminded me a little bit of 1930's movies like "The Thin Man". The set, of a NY duplex apartment is so beautiful that Chris and the woman next to us were discussing how many closets it had! Paul Rudnick has written hilarious, sophisticated NY one-liner type dialog; and the cast, especially Christine Baranski (of Sybill fame) has a ball delivering it. Jackie Hoffman plays "the only Jewish maid in NY with wisecracking zest. The only quibble is the story-line is a bit weak, but you laugh so often you lose track.
