Under My Skin The Play

Good play! Amazing casts, they executed an great performance on stage. Most of the jokes were funny but other ones didn’t have me laughing much. It’s a good play about modern society’s view of gender role with a Freaky Friday twist. Good plot, a bit vulgar, funny third person perspective during the play *talking to the audience*, surprisingly good minor characters, and some clever dialogue. Definitely one of the more fun off-​broadway shows to watch.

I found the show hilarious and entertaining. There were a lot of suggestive jokes but they were also clever. I was surprised at the references to recent event. I already recommended the show to my friends. The seats were comfortable and the theater located conveniently near TSQ.

Absolutely brilliant!!! Loved every second. Go see this! What a brilliant cast, story line and acting. A real gem.

I totally enjoyed this play and would recommend it! What looks like silly plays packs a punch. Not only is it so much funnier than I expected but it delivers a subtle social message (not preachy,). It is fast paced and always entertaining, supported by sharp writers and excellent acting. The angel and the grandfather were hilarious! There is no intermission but it is so funny and never boring that the time flew by.
Loved the comfortable seating at the Little Shubert!

Witty and clever from start to finish. Touches on very relevant and real healthcare issues we’re dealing with on an everyday basis. Loved the characters especially Nanette. Great show!

First, come to this play with an open mind. When I first saw the poster/​ad for the play, I wasn’t exactly impressed… it seemed sorta wacky. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how great the play was and how much I enjoyed it! The emotional transformation among the characters was so raw that it was hard to not sympathize. There were a few of Gatsby moments in the play where the division between the poor and the rich was portrayed by the level/​extent of health care one has, which is sort of a satire of the current health care reforms. Additionally, the play conveyed that money isn’t everything when you see the difference in caring for the elderly with Melody and Harrison – Harrison sent his mom to the best health care facility that money can buy during the last few years of her life whereas Melody still cared for her sick father despite struggling as a single parent of a teenage daughter while working as a temp without full health benefits.
Aside from all seriousness, however, the play was ridiculously funny! My favorite character was the father. He was the cutest old man!!! i took one star off because I personally thought that it was overly raunchy… but, I definitely recommend this play!

Oh my goodness, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard in a live play. The jokes are hilarious, the characters incredible, and the plot, simultaneously amusing and touching. Can’t say much since I don’t want to give anything away, but I could go and see this show everyday and still continue to be laugh. I hadn’t heard of this play prior to coming, but am so glad that I did. Really great play with a talented cast and team. Definitely worth checking out (not with young kids though!). Thank you Ruggy, Under My Skin, and the Little Shubert Theater for a wonderful evening!

This is a really fun show.
Some broadway snobs may hate on this show because some stuff may be a little cliched and predictable, but hey, I don’t mind the cheese. What matters most is I had a good laugh and enjoyed the show.
The performances from grandpa was pretty touching, and the actors in the show were fantastic.

Thanks to Unilocal for the opportunity to preview this very enjoyable farce. Under My Skin feels very 80s and has a sitcom-​ish vibe that is kind of quaint and familiar.
If the title makes you think of the Sinatra song, the director high-​fives the producers – success! UMS is light comedy and full of cliches, gender stereotypes and theater comedy tropes, but it manages to keep things fun and breezy for a very manageable 1.5 hours (or thereabouts).
The writers shrewdly exploit the topical absurdities of healthcare and the medical bureaucracy, crossed with the classic body-​swap setup that raises the stakes and explores class and gender. It never goes too deep, but just deep enough to get under your skin and hold your attention.
The angel and best friend (Dierdre Friel and Megan Sikora, respectively) were phenomenal. Matt Walton was good too. Kerry Butler was a little inconsistent, but got better late in the game.

I have to say, I was not expecting a play this good, off Broadway. It was hilarious! I was very pleasantly surprised. I also like that the theater was not a ultra mini theater like some other nearby off broadway theaters.
The play is about 2 people that end up switching bodies with paritys to the healthcare debate issues. The actors were convincing and the play is very well written. Some of the scenes were a bit raunchy, yet there was no nudity. Some of the lines were a bit unexpected, but very, very funny. I loved the white angel, a very well played and placed character.
The theater was laughing throughout the 90 minute show. There is no intermission, I guess to keep the momentum of the show going. Loved it!

I was here last night with a Unilocal Elite event, and found the play uproariously funny, though there were a lot of New Yorker-​specific references that out-​of-​towners may not fully appreciate!
If you have ever watched «The Nanny» and enjoyed it, this show is full of the same kind of light, cheeky sexuality, especially in the character of Nanette played by Megan Sikora. Dierdre Friel as Angel also brought a sassy humor that reminded me of a Melissa McCarthy role.
I think that the thinly veiled social commentary on the state of healthcare was just light enough that it wouldn’t offend. It isn’t exactly R-​rated, but definitely suggestive. That said, I definitely recommend this show to adult New Yorkers who are politically liberal and have an easy sense of humor!

First off, I love sitcom humor. That was the first thing that came to my mind as I was laughing throught Under My Skin. There was a simple plot that I didn’t have to rack my brain to follow. It was thoroughly entertained. I would not know what I would ask for more from a play… maybe some dancing and singing, I suppose! The humor was adult… think Three’s Company type of humor.
The plot is familar and simple. Nothing ground breaking just fun!!! Think Freaky Friday meets Three’s Company humor. Like an adult version of Freaky Friday is how I would put it.
My favorite character is the Angel. She is a firecracker. She lights up the stage every time she is in a scene. then again she is an angel!!!
I would have to place Under My Skin as one of my favorite plays in the last several years because it made me laugh.

Had a great time at this play thanks to Ruggy throwing a Unilocal night for Elites to see Under My Skin.
There was never a dull moment as the play itself is full of funny lines, situational, and topical humor that kept us laughing throughout. Think of it as a sitcom spread out over 90 minutes on stage. Sure, some of the jokes we have all seen before and can be a bit cheeky at times, some characters were straight out of 1980’s sitcom casting, but it was lighthearted and very enjoyable. Even the ending you see coming a mile away has been done a million times. Think «The Nanny», «Three’s Company» and even «2 and ½ Men» type comedy. The play itself is a big zinger and middle finger towards the healthcare industry of today, and I am sure many of us can relate when dealing with insurance companies, doctors, and procedures.
Each actor went all in on their characters, and each was strong and stood out in their own way. A bit of sexual innuendo humor, some lighthearted comedy, pointed social commentary, and a touch of kitschy sitcom schtick makes this an enjoyable show to watch without having to think too hard. Definitely an off-​Broadway production that is a notch above the norm in this genre.
One actress that I wish had more stage time was the Angel. She could have stole the show as she is a natural and had great comedy chops!
Worth seeing if in the mood for an easy show to commit to with some good laughs off-​Broadway.

Hilariously funny play!
I was not really ready for so much laughing.
It 90-​minutes of straight jokes that are funny and lighthearted with some modern commentary on today’s health care dilemma face by most of us.
The play is refreshing and entertaining!
It kept me awake, which is not easy.

Hysterical. Must see!
I was able to attend last night alongside a few other lucky Unilocal Elites. The show is 90 minutes. I thought the actors were excellent and each brought something unique to the stage. You will not be bored. I noticed the entire audience was highly engaged and lots of laughter going on! Not a dull moment.
I don’t want to spoil the play for anyone but I truly enjoyed it and would watch it again. I felt like a was watching a sitcom (in the best possible way!).
I loved all the characters. The ‘Grandpa’ was spot on! The ‘Angel’ was such a natural comedian. Nanette was provocative. Everyone was just an absolute charm.
Go see it!!!

I see a lot of shows and I just loved this one! funny, clever and even my husband enjoyed it (he’s not a theatre person). Ran into a neighbor there, and she loved it as well. It was just done so well and thought I’d share since it doesn’t get as much press as some of the bigger shows.

It was a great show! The office jokes were on point and the Angel was awesome! It’s seemed like a great crowd from the Unilocal event really helped the atmosphere. Too bad the rain held is back from hitting up KITHN. It’s looked like it would have been fun! Looking forward to more Unilocal events !

Despite the heavy rain and flooded streets everywhere this evening, it was worth the trouble to get all soaked up just to see the play. Fastastic cast! Very entertaining, funny, sexy and creative! Absolutely love it! Must see for anyone who loves comedy.
