Jim Brochu's striking resemblance to Zero Mostel enhances his portrayal of the late actor in "Zero Hour."
Writer and performer Jim Brochu's one-man show about Zero Mostel occasionally lapses into hero worship, but Brochu's finely wrought writing and subtle acting bring his maniacally comical subject to life, in all his biting intelligence and imperfection.
Through Aug. 27, 2006 Sundays: 2 p.m. 7 p.m. Fridays: 8 p.m. Saturdays: 8 p.m. Price: $30 Box office: 800-595-4849

Lloyd Long Beach, CA... by the way, the producer/ box office attendent/ house greeter, Herb Isaacs has the patience of a saint (rabbi?) as silly people constantly complain about their seats without having sat in them. The theatre is about as big as my living room. OY VEY! August 20, 2006
Lloyd Long Beach, CAA rare moment in the theatre that will not soon be forgotten. I wish great things for this show and it's creators. Thank you! August 19, 2006
Mike M Los Angeles, CARush to see Jim Brochu as Zero Mostel in a performance of such size that it could barely fit in Montana. When he first appeared all the breath was knocked out of me: it was Zero Mostel! He was a force of nature - a storm brewing, thunder, lightning and the sun suddenly coming out. He was all weathers, all temperatures; all magnificent - like a Hirschfeld drawing come to life - I swear I counted ten Nina's. He has such danger on stage: it's like watching a savage bear on a fraying leash, ready for the "snap" of the restraint when he pounces on the audience and devours us. And devour us he does with passion and energy and humor and emotion. I was on a rollercoaster of a ride - laughing and crying and cheering and so enraptured and enthralled - nothing else entered my mind. Write a review | Read more reviews |
