Spencer’s portrayal of Maggie plays up the character’s swooning flightiness, but is subtle enough to keep her from becoming a simple caricature. Maggie frustrates you, fawning over Morelli like a teenage Beatles fan, but in the end she wins you over, and you’re genuinely happy for her and Max. The happy ending could be too sappy, but the actors don’t overdo it, so it’s just cute enough. Maggie’s lifting one leg at the knee as she smooches her beau is a nice touch, too. Aww.

All of the actors are great in their roles, playing well off each other. In such a wild farce, it’s easy for antics to swallow up the characters’ sympathetic sides. All of these people seem real, though. Really ridiculous, and really neurotic, but really real. The Morellis are stereotypical hot-headed Italians, but their tender moments provide balance. Saunders starts out as a menacing father-in-law type, but quickly shows his human side when he and Max must band together to form a plan.

This play is set in the 1930s, so something must be said about the costumes. Well, they’re fantastic. Christopher Harris’s designs play off of the characters’ personalities. Maggie sports fashionable, trendy pieces and Diana, the company’s prima donna and notorious femme fatale, wears low-cut, curve-clinging numbers. Max is clad in a stylish but conservative suit. Period costumes are always fun, and these are no exception.

This is a great rendition of a hilarious show. It is directed by Judith Midyett Pender.
