Viagara Falls at the Little Shubert from 5 Jul

Stanley Browne, John Finocchio and SJ Productions, Inc., will present Viagara Falls, a new comedy by Lou Cutell and Joao Machado, opening at the Little Shubert Theatre on 21 Jul 2010, following previews from 5 Jul and selling tickets through to 12 Sep 2010.

Directed by Don Crichton, Viagara Falls features Bernie Kopell ("The Love Boat"), Lou Cutell (original Broadway productions of 'How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying' and 'Little Me') and Teresa Ganzel ("The Tonight Show," "Teachers Only").

Viagara Falls: Charley and Moe are widowers, war buddies and life-long pals. For his 77th birthday, rather than sitting around listening to old records, Charley decides that he and Moe need one more crack at sowing some wild oats. Moe is wary, but with the help of one loopy lady of the evening and some black market blue pills, Charley and Moe are in for the birthday party of their lives.

"I was a Brooklyn kid, so it is a thrill to be coming home to New York in Viagara Falls," says Bernie Kopell. "This is not my first time playing 42nd Street. As a kid, I used to work at my fathers jewelry store just up the block from where The Little Shubert is now. Since then, I am lucky to have starred in some landmark television comedies - "The Love Boat," "Get Smart," "That Girl" - but it is always a joy to be back on a stage, in the same room with a live audience's laughter."

"Who says you can't write a sex farce for people of all ages?" says Lou Cutell. "It's all about the timing, and who knows more about the passage of time than I do? We wanted to write a play that would make audiences laugh and warm their hearts too. Bernie and Teresa do just that. I could not have asked for a better pair of actors to share the stage with."

Bernie Kopell (Moe Crubbs) is best know to television audiences for his roles Dr. Adam Bricker on "The Love Boat," Siegfried on "Get Smart," Jerry Bauman on Marlo Thomas' "That Girl," Louie Pallucci on "The Doris Day Show," and Alan-a-Dale on "When Things Were Rotten."

Lou Cutell (Playwright/Charley Milhouse) made his Broadway debut as the lead comic in the musical 'Young Abe Lincoln.' That led to co-starring Broadway roles in 'How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying,' the original company of 'Little Me' and the off-Broadway 'Madam Aphrodite.' He penned and starred in the award-winning farce play, 'The Sicilian Bachelor.' He has appeared in over 76 movies, such as " The Wedding Crashers", "The Odd Couple II" and "Honey I Shrunk The Kids". On television, Lou has been a guest in over 200 shows - "Curb Your Enthusiasm", "Will and Grace", "Spin City." Most people will remember him from"Seinfeld" in which Cutell played the proctologist 'Dr. Cooperman,' aka "The Assman".

Teresa Ganzel (Jacqueline Tempest) is known to many from her numerous guest appearances and sketch work on "The Johnny Carson Show." She has been a series regular on shows such as "Teachers Only", with Lynn Redgrave, "Roxie", with Andrea Martin, and "The Dave Thomas Show". Teresa has guest-starred on countless television shows, from her first on "Three's Company", to more recent shows such as 'Malcom in the Middle".
