What! You’ve never heard of Judith Tuvim, the Jewish girl from Brooklyn with the IQ of 172, who took Broadway and Hollywood by storm in the 1950's. Perhaps that's because you've always known her as the actress, Judy Holliday, whose meteoric rise and fall is the subject of a new play by Bob Sloan.
This fast-paced romp through the life of the original dumb-blonde and one of the funniest actresses of all time, features Holliday's exalted cohorts Orson Welles, Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Gloria Swanson and Jimmy Durante, among others, in a bouyant valentine to a bygone era.
Just In Time: The Judy Holliday Story had a brief introductory run last year in the New York Fringe Festival where it received top accolades and played to sold-out audiences. The play has since been tweaked a bit by playwright, Bob Sloan. He has added some new scenes, songs and a new title “The Judy Holliday Story.” Local audiences will have the opportunity to see the play that one critic called “the best show I saw at the Fringe this year…the red carpet event of the Festival.”
Please note that several performances have already sold out, so book early to avoid disappointment.
