NYC77EVENTS's REVIEW;
Is very refreshing to see a Broadway show in a very casual atmosphere and have a great time at the same time. Truffles: Music! Mushrooms! Murder!!! has exactly that kind of fun and a refreshing color appropriate for young adults and mature audiences. I almost forgot how fun can be a night out involving delicious dinner and a terrific show! Truffles: Music! Mushrooms! Murder!!! remind me that. This is the kind of play you want to see with friends, family, co-workers and.. why not? With your ex! (?) Those amazing actors delivered a perfect night of entertainment and a "mysterious" non-sense and comical clues interacting with the audience as fun participation which is an special touch making you feel comfortable and welcome. Cassie Nadeau plays "the Gold Digger" young wife Olga Donatti ambitios and manipulating always on top of the game. Cassie owns the stage, her funny and charismatic way to entertain is fantastic! John C. Guild "JohnG" Add classic comedy to the show his voice, his appearance, his presence, and his cute humorous style are perfect to play the owner of the Italian restaurant Dante Donatti. Linsay Lavin a young modern actress plays the aspiring actress daughter of the restaurant owner Isabella Donatti, a selfish brat who only thinks about herself and her acting career whom Lavin plays perfectly! Eddi Varley plays the control freak chef "Bruno" of the Italian restaurant who may live and die for the "truffles", doing a terrific job manipulating and influencing the role adding a great comical/nudity performances. Willie Marte is "Carlo" the handsome sub chef who is in love with the owner's daughter is making a nice contribution to the play using his attractiveness and natural sweetness. Steve Tardio plays the loyal waiter charming and sweet trying to get the owner's wife and all we know where that is going...
The play is terrific!!! you keep laughing and keep enjoying every moment of the show!!! The whole cast is perfectly fit and carefully designed and directed by Matthew McVey-Lee, written by Gregg Ostrin and the musical part was created by Jenni Lark, Hal Galardi and Cassie Nadeau with parody lyrics by Austin M.
