Me - Two's A Crowd was a really funny show. It's about these two people who accidentally got booked into the same hotel room. It was an interesting idea for a show. It was a little predictable in some ways, but not in others. It was definitely surprising enough to keep it from being boring.  The acting was good. There was a famous comedienne starring in it, but I never heard of her before. She was a good actress but her singing wasn't the best. The songs were good, but the show probably would have worked fine without them. They weren't really a big part of it. The songs were funny though. I don't remember them now. It was a good show, I would recommend seeing it.

Mom - Two's A Crowd is cute show about a couple of strangers who are mistakenly booked into the same hotel room. Although parts of the show are predictable, you won't necessarily know where it's heading at all times. The show is a musical. The songs are fun and some are quite amusing, in fact, but they are unnecessary. The show would work just as well without them. About half the songs are sung by the characters in the show. The rest by the guitarist and co-writer, although it is unclear from the playbill whether he is the co-writer of the show or just of the songs. It disrupts the flow of the plot a bit to constantly be taken in and out of the action like that. and  sometimes the songs seems to belong in a different kind of show. The female lead is played by comedienne, Rita Rudner. She is as sharp as ever. She is not much of a singer, however, although she does a good job of putting across a song. The rest of the cast is good. Over all, it's fun show and worth seeing.
