The show is fun and enjoyable, but if you've seen other work by Shiner or Irwin or in that vein, it's probably similar to the other work. It's not particularly revelatory. But Shiner and Irwin are masters at what they do, and if you enjoy stuff, there's no one better. I thought I had heard the show was being considered for a Broadway transfer. Is that completely off the table at this point? (SPOILERS) When I saw the show, Shiner was unlucky and picked two professional actors as audience participants for the Wild West scene, which kind of threw off the dynamic for that extended part of the show. One of them was Carson Elrod, of The Explorers Club and other shows. In Old Hats, he was originally assigned the role of the bartender, and was adeptly moving the glasses around, a skill that he might have learned from The Explorers Club!
