5 stars...in more ways than one! MEET & GREET is hip, hilarious Hollywood mayhem from start to finish. The four actresses (very meta, playing four actresses) are all pitch perfect, as is Paul Iacono as the lone male in the casting office. Each leading lady has her own story and her own show stopping laughs and Mr. Iacono holds his bitchy own amidst this master class in comedy. Writers Stan Zimmerman and Christian McLaughlin pack on a pile of yuks, a pinch of pathos and a truly wicked twist that caps off the most fun you can have in eighty minutes. Mr. Zimmerman directs with panache, keeping the pace light-footed while allowing his actors to each take their moments of well-earned guffaws. If you need a good chuckle--or, more app... full review

I'm just adding to the chorus of high praise for this piece. The script is hilarious, as are all the cast. Bravura performances from all, in a wonderfully absurd but wittily satirical send up of west coast show biz ridiculousness. The cast is spectacular, especially Teresa Ganzel, who rocks the house. She's on-the-floor funny, with impeccable yet distinctive comic timing, and manages a 180 degree pivot into a truthful, even poignant new character turn with grace and charm. Please someone write a pilot for this woman.... full review

I love this play!!! Hysterical dialogue, wonderful actors, great direction... it was a fabulous evening of theater. I brought ten co-workers and everyone loved it. A few of them wanted to add their own comments: This play is amazing! Laugh out loud funny with a fabulous twist at the end. What a joy to see mature actresses playing the hell out of such fabulous roles! -Eric What a clever premise! I so enjoyed the play and the great performances. -Sally Everyone should go see this play! It was sold out, but they just added another performance on July 11th, so run, don't walk, to see "Meet & Greet!" - Adam Super funny throughout, with some great heartfelt moments as well. - Mike Awesome play! Carolyn Hennesy is beyond brilliant!... full review

What can I say about Meet & Greet? The show was absolutely fantastic. From the moment Carolyn Hennesy took the stage I was captivated. She was regal, she was classy, she was the embodiment of the Broadway Diva---starting to slip. To me, the character was a combination of Dorothy Zbornack and Julia Sugarbaker. Carolyn’s delivery was spot on. Her timing was impeccable. She was absolutely brilliant, and someone I would want to watch over and over again. I was fortunate enough to shake her hand after the show, and she was incredibly gracious. No wonder she is an Emmy Nominee. When Vicki Lewis stormed onto the stage, she was able to steal all the focus and make the show all about her, at least for her monologues. The delivery of her w... full review

Fantastically funny play-- you can tell the writers are experienced at sitcoms/TV... it's like every 3rd line is a setup and pay off for a joke. I've never laughed so much at a play. If you are looking for something hilarious (with some clever commentary on Hollywood/TV) then this is the show for you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.... full review
