Orson Welles & Scatman Crothers in 'A Hollywood Ending'

What a hilarious and intriguing show! I had to Google to make sure it wasn't a joke that Orson Welles was in the Transformers movie in 1985. BUT it was true. I imagine David Castro's script is pretty accurate in terms of some of the conversations that took place. He takes advantage of the humor of the situation, but also takes the time to address two men who spent decades in Hollywood and how they felt about the changes or lack thereof. And both actors portrayed these men with striking accuracy. Go see it!... full review

The final role for both Orson Welles and Scatman Crothers was in a second-rate animated movie based on a Saturday morning cartoon? Hard to imagine but true and playwright Castro has a great time imagining the two Hollywood greats meeting at the audition. Well conceived and written, it's hugely entertaining throughout. There's no bad acting but the man who plays Orson Welles is really terrific. Come and see this play!... full review

I had the great good fortune to work with Orson Welles on one of his last projects: a magic special planned for BBC TV. My theater companion was a friend of Orson's who spent quite a bit of time with Wells in his last years. This show brought Orson back to life for both of us, and was worth the price of admission solely for that reason! But there was so much more to admire than that. While wisely not attempting an impersonation, Rob Locke has the physical presence to remind us of Welles, and even looks shockingly like him at times. And Dennis Neal's Scatman is a true gem, lighting up the stage with his quick impressions of other great black performers from entertainment's Golden Age. This show's plot brings Orson together with Crothers, a no... full review
