I saw this show last February, and feverishly pre-ordered this script as soon as it became available. It showed up this afternoon and I tore through it in record time, laughing the whole way through. I know that there are some seriously timely and important plays expected to be nominated for Tonys this year, but I just can't help hoping that Escola's funny, filthy, improbably heartfelt, utterly stupid and capital R Ridiculous show sweeps them all.
The narrative of his memoir is really well done. He was acting all over the place, leaving the child-rearing to his wife, who was also a choreographer professional in her own right. He cheated on both his first and his second wives. I do appreciate the difficult circumstances he came from. He was lucky that he had so many caring adults looking out for him. He was thoughtful about all his roles and how he treated his workmates.
What a wonderful book. It does this book a disservice to call it a comedy or a tragedy or any one thing. It is a layered story with interesting and lovable characters. It has a perspective and, yes, it made me laugh. I cannot recommend this book enough.
