Greater Tuna

Now I'm not real crazy about Texas, mind you, but sure as shooting I'm crazy about Greater Tuna! Two brilliant actors, Michael-Anthony Nozzi and Susie McCarthy, portray over 20 citizens of this small town in Texas. With amazing ease they change characters (with quick costume changes) from a little boy with a pack of dogs to a rebellious young man or a harassed mother of three to a little old lady. Each character is sharply defined and performed to perfection. This show is a must see before it's gone to Edinburgh; Scotland's gain will be our loss!

Wow! I cannot imagine a better production of "Greater Tuna"! The two stars did brilliant character work. I haven't had that much fun at the theatre in a long time. Bravo!!

Wow! These two on stage together playing multiple roles one after another was amazing! They work beautifully together. The characters are both believable and disturbingly accurate of small town Texas life! Susie and Michael together were hysterical! You can't help but laugh at the quips, one liners and complexities of such personalities as are found in "Greater Tuna." There were even a few tender moments I found myself wiping away tears. Don't miss this show! My only sad thought was as I looked around the theatre and saw so many empty seats! Folks, this show is fantastic! You will love it guaranteed! Something for everybody...Brava and Bravo! They're gonna love you guys in Edinburgh!

Fun! OMG these two are a riot! Gender-bending, eye-popping, "Must Run Over Dogs" hilarity! Go see Michael and Susie this week, you will not be disappointed. L A should consider itself LUCKY to have such brilliant performers working everyday to perfect their craft. Kill your television, see a play! :)

"Greater Tuna" is a place where the churches and the Humane Society have a firm grip on the community and the Lions Club is branded as being too liberal. All this is set to strains of Patsy Cline background music. "Crazy" somehow seemed very appropriate. The story revolves around the irrepressible personalities of Tuna, and their outlandish thinking, presented most compellingly by only two performers. Their portrayal of both male and female characters (and even a few animals) is absolutely spot-on. The two actors who do such a phenomenal job of making these characters come to life are Susie McCarthy and Michael-Anthony Nozzi. Not only do these two get into character with lightning speed (they learned an unbelievable number of lines and characterizations), they do their costume changes equally as fast. It was pretty darned incredible! "Greater Tuna" is simply a "must see"!
