What I liked

The actors did an amazing job.

What I didn't like

Since the lawyers in the parody were depicted as being unscrupulous, I found it to be offensive that several times during the production, it repeatedly mentioned they were Jewish. It was unnecessary to say they were Jewish and would have been just as effective if there was no mention at all about what religion or ethnicity the characters played.

My overall impression

I thought this production was pretty amazing how a very dark and sad story can be entertaining. The actors did an excellent job. However, I do have to mention that I found it offensive that the unscrupulous lawyers were repeatedly identified as Jewish Lawyers. It wasn’t necessary and would have been equally as effective if that particular identification were eliminated.
