THAT BACHELORETTE SHOW is as Bubbly and Light as Champagne

A review of That Bachelorette Show by David Clarke | May 3, 2015

Yes, interactive Off-Broadway shows are a thing, and they can be really entertaining. The latest offering in the genre is “That Bachelorette Show,” which is a flirtatiously fun 90 minute dance party from the creator of THE AWESOME 80S PROM. More party than theatre, this frivolous concoction packs in the laughs and keeps the beats coming. You’ll have a blast dancing the night away with Adrianna Orlando and her stable of aspiring beaus. Due to the interactive elements of “That Bachelorette Show,” there is no way you’ll ever see the same performance twice. That’s where a thin plot, some clichéd archetypes, and keen improvisational skills come into play to make sure that Ken Davenport’s creation keeps the audience smiling. In the show, plucky bachelorette Adriana Orlando, played with perfected comical bridge-and-tunnel sass by Joanne Nosuchinsky, is looking for love. She just left her greasy, Italian Guido boyfriend, Giovanni Giovanni because he wouldn’t propose to her. Gianmarco Soresi plays this slime-ball with ample sleaze. So, what’s a girl to do? She turns to New York City’s favorite dating show to find her husband. The show’s rakish, libidinous host Malcolm Love, played with gusto by Andy Peeke, guarantees Adriana that he and the audience will help her find her husband. Enter her best friends and future bride’s maids. Bennett Leak’s Tristan Di Stefano, clad in an audacious pink zebra print vest, is armed with an array of obviously gay traits and a ton of attitude. Meagan Robar’s Ricki Ronzoni would be perfectly at home on MTV’s Jersey Shore as she parties with the audience, flirts with the guys, spends the evening swiping left and right on Tinder, and sending Snapchats.
