A comedy that is actually laugh out loud funny is rare. Not every show has to have a deep meaning

Actually, I kind of minded. Not the fluffiness per se, but that the script wasn't that good. I thought the performance was great and I did, in fact, laugh out loud at times. But I also got bored with it before it ended. A better script would have kept me engaged in the show, rather than just appreciating the quality of the performance.

(Also, as I've been to the DuPont place in Delaware, I was irked every time he used the German pronunciation of Winterthur (which is fine for the City in Switzerland for which it is named) rather than the American one by which it is actually known. He got a laugh every time he used the German one -- because it sounded super-pretentious -- but it was, y'know, wrong.)

Exactly how I feel.

A terrific performance, but a forgettable play.

well said. If it was fluff it was damn good fluff.
