Saw it a few days ago--I'm a guy--and I haven't laughed so hard since THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG. And the packed theatre seemed to feel likewise.
Saw this today, It was fantastic, hilarious, a must see! Bravo Julie White. I thought she was impeccable, I so could relate to this powered woman role, and got all the innuendos. everyone was at their best, 10, 10 10, even in a matinee! also loved Rachel Dratch as the the "Shakespearean" comic relief among all the actours' comedy. I can't recommend enof. Vanessa Williams played such a funny part I had not seen in her in that role before, she was comedy abandoned and then pulled it together without dropping a beat all in one scene. as always a delight and professional craft to watch. I was not familiar with the other actours before but I will be because they were superb. what a fun time!
The power of the women on stage,just magnificent !
They should do 12 Angry Women next.
And how about “All the many presidents many affairs.” Now that’s a true story.
Just came back from seeing it!!! I am still on the floor from laughing so hard. Also really cool performance..... Rachel took a personal day and her understudy Anita Abdinezhad slayed it. It was also her debut. She NEVER went on for any Principal role until now for the final week!!!! What a madcap and crazy fun day it was at the White House!!
This is the new TWELVE ANGRY MEN but funnier featuring the most spectacular DIVAS you'll ever see!!!! Us dudes have plenty but now LADIES..... IT'S YOUR TURN!!!!
So proud of Selina Fillinger!
Finally saw the show. It was absolutely bonkers and I loved EVERYTHING about it.
Saw it tonight, it was cute! A few real laughs and big names on the cast. Worth checking out.
Looks like an awesome show. Awesome interview with bunch of funny women. Made my day.
saw today and it is so fantastically funny.
How exciting! I hope to see it. Break a leg and here’s to a long run on Broadway!
Sadly, it's a limited run, closing 8/14. So you'd better hurry!
Seeing this Thursday so excited 😆
Awesome!

Vanessa looks so very stunning.
Boy, Hamilton’s got some competition.
I’m sure it’s still popular, despite all the buzz that this particular play is getting.
Bahahaha
We sure could use some fun! Good luck.
Please next: "Cofefe...the Trump Administration Musical" with Lin Manual Miranda and Weird Al Yankovic for words and music!
@Hunters Laptop , if she or he does, that's none of your business. By the way, the issue of Hunter Biden has been dealt with already. Do you get paid for spewing bs? How are things going with the twice impeached disgraced former president's numerous lawsuits?,
@@teathpaste3301 , he should. We dealt with a joke for 4 years. LOL.
It’s not too often you see a political play, these days. I still got those “Holland Taylor as Ann Richards” vibes flowing in me.
Didn’t Drag Race do this a few years ago? lol
_cluck cluck cluck_
Not really all that more funny than an average guy working at fedex.
Obviously about Biden
You misspelled Trump. LOL.
@@amyreynolds3619 Wow. That's clever!
It’s not about Biden or Trump. It’s about the idea that time and time again, we’ve always elected an old white guy into office and where does that leave the women in politics? The point of this is that these women are all smarter and more competent than the president so why aren’t they president?
Leave it to America to take a female empowerment piece and make it all about a man
@@kittykat123425 Kamala is smart? Lol!
Another reason to avoid both television and New York...
Oops, and just like that they get rid of all the Hispanic women in the country.
Amazing, since the play author lives in LA and studied basically in Chicago.
"Don't complain, there are a lot of Hispanics in West Side Story v10.0"...
Non sequitur much?
So two blacks, an Asian and at least one lesbian aren't "diverse" enough for you?
@@cadavra8 and 50 whites? NO.
@@carloszenteno Seriously? It's a cast of 7. 3 are non-white, and 1 of the white actresses is a very out lesbian. Seems pretty damn diverse to me. Also, the show is hilarious.
Great answers. Congratulations
This is just religion-based comedy. Here, the religion is the modern, mainstream zeitgeist of corporate, governmental life.
I saw other religion- based comedy in the past, of an evangelical Christian variety. It also was not funny.
Biden is a comedy. A sad comedy.
Non sequitur much?
You misspelled Trumpty Dumbty.
One day someone is going to explain to me the "sad comedy" of a president helping his country to tame Covid, bring down unemployment to three percent, galvanize a whole world against an evil Russian dictator, pass a by-partisan bill that will help our country's infrastructure, and admonish everyone to come together as one...someone will clearly explain to me how accomplishing that in two years is a "sad comedy"". Yes, we as a nation are facing some steep challenges. We are all uncomfortable right now. For those of us who don't have a big bucket of money to pour over our heads and solve problems, we are looking at debt due to overpricing and greed and that is hard. However, these things will pass. The world will get better and our leaders who are sincere and honest and hardworking deserve our support. Sometime those very same leaders make mistakes and prove they are human too but when those very people are coming from a sincere place, I for one, would rather support them than have liars and charlatans and grifters at the helm of this nation. We cannot be selfish all the time. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices and work with what we have. Most of us have done that because we had to. Most times that builds character and teaches us to see who really is for us or against us. That's what I want to see and that's what I will make myself see. It's not just about me me me me me...it's about so much more if you want to open your eyes to what is really there!!! If...
@@amyreynolds3619 No. Actually I didn't. Biden still your hero? Now that's sad.
So was trump. So was literally every president. So are all of our leaders. I think that’s the point of the play.
Can anyone say CRINGE 🤮
Thank you Mikey
All the woman he sniffed that is lol
