Any play with the word Yonkers in the title had better be funny.This play is funny, touching, sad, uproarious, all wrapped up in a wonderful production and cast.
I saw the original on Broadway in 1991 with Mercedes Ruehl, Irene Worth, and Kevin Spacey. Tonight's cast matched them in every way.
Lynn Cohen 
Paula Jon Derose
Lynn Cohen was grumpy and touching as Grandma Kurnitz, Dominic Comperatore was sympathetic as Eddie, Stephanie Cozart inhaled her sentences wonderfully as Aunt Gert, Paula Jon Derose was off the charts as Bella, David Christopher Wells was scary and tender as Louie, and Jake Giordana (in his first professional theatre role) and Matt Gumley stole the show as Arty and Jay, the two kids.
It was a great evening of theatre!
