| Marga Gomez is an entertainer, an old school entertainer who creates multi-dimensional characters that leap off the stage... full of hilarity, pathos and heart. Her background as a stand up comic is apparent in her pitch-perfect timing. The show is poignant without becoming saccharine; funny without being cloying. Gomez depicts the strange world of her youth, growing up with parents who were entertainers themselves in the 'teatros' of Spanish ... read more Harlem. While the madcap backstage antics of Willy Chevalier and Margarita are riotously unusual, Gomez's exploration of her relationship with her parents strikes a universal chord that brought the audience, myself included, to tears more than once. As suggested by the play's title, "Los Big Names" also explores the implications of the desire for fame and celebrity.. through an intimate, revealing and personal lens. I can't recommend this show highly enough. |
