"4PLAY" RETURNS OFF-BROADWAY, OPENS 8/9
Published 2010-08-09
4PLAY, The Flying Karamazov Brothers hit show returns to Minetta Lane Theatre for an open-ended run beginning tonight, 8/9 at 7pm. Performances began 7/22.
A unique blend of music, comedy, dance, theater, and juggling, 4PLAY features The Flying Karamazov Brothers, New York's favorite multi-faceted new-vaudevillians at the apex of their ambidextrous and alliterative ability.
The audience is invited to bring objects to the theater for the Karamazovs to keep airborne in a real challenge that ends either with a pie in the face or a standing ovation, making each show a unique experience and sometimes a messy one. This exuberant and hilarious off-Broadway event is full of charming, fast-paced virtuosity and fun as the four brothers, master practitioners of cheap theatrics, juggle ‘til they drop. Their method combines skills of considerable breadth and depth in a work that is kaleidoscopic, passionate and not one bit silly (ok, maybe a little). The objects, the musical instruments (traditional and invented), and their own bodies combine to make a fresh and compelling evening. This show is made for everyone-kids, adults, students, tourists, theatre goers, the theatre wary, pseudo-intellectuals, dopes, geeks, the upper and lower crust, and even politicians.
4PLAY features Paul Magid, Mark Ettinger, Rod Kimball, and Stephen Bent. Written by Paul Magid and The Flying Karamazov Brothers, Directed by Paul Magid, Choreographed by Doug Elkins, Music Direction by Mark Ettinger, Costumes by Susan Hilferty, Lighting Design by David Hutson, Set Design by The Flying Karamazov Brothers, Original Music by Mark Ettinger, Doug Wieselman, and Howard Patterson.
4PLAY performs Wednesday through Saturday at 8pm, with matinees on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday at 2pm, and a Sunday evening performance at 5pm at the Minetta Lane Theatre , 18 Minetta Lane between Sixth Avenue and MacDougal Street.
