Review: Debut of Latinologues

Tonight was the first night of previews for Rick Najera's Latinologues. The play, which takes place at New York's Helen Hayes Theatre, marks Cheech Marin's Broadway directorial debut.

The show was fanastic! The audience and myself included could not stop laughing.

The writing was impeccable, which doesn't surprise me. Rick Najera is a seasoned comedy writing veteran, having written for MAD TV and In Living Color. Rick is also a marvelous character actor. His drug dealer character gave me the munchies and also drew the most laughs

I was amazed that the first show could be flawless, but it was. Cheech Marin's excellent direction, as well as the great actors (Rick Najera, Eugenio Derbez, Rene Lavan, Shirley A. Rumierk) are to thank.

I loved it so much so we will be returning. We also expect to have an interview with Cheech Marin later this week.

If you live outside of the tri-state area, we recommend planning a vacation around this.

Watch Encore (requires Quicktime 7.0 or higher)

Purchase tickets here. It's a small theater so every seat is close.
