Neil Simon's The Prisoner of Second Avenue is currently playing at the Vaudeville Theatre starring Academy Award winners Jeff Goldblum and Mercedes Ruehl, Mel and Edna Edison (you would probably recognize Goldblum from Jurassic Park). The tickets were only £12 and definitely worth it. The American play set in New York City was very well done. The entire play took place in the Edison's apartment and over five scenes and followed Mel through his midlife crisis into a nervous breakdown after losing his job. Even though the subject doesn't sound like the most hilarious two hours, Goldblum's antics, annoying neighbors and ridiculous siblings kept the audience laughing out loud the entire way though. By far my favorite play yet!
