Unexpected bills can drive a person crazy, especially when you know that you have paid the bill. But the biggest frustration is the customer service lines that you have to deal with when trying to take care of the problem. This is where the play The Veri**on Play begins. Poor Jenni has accidentally paid her cell phone bill to the wrong section of a major telecommunications company. Jenni is then taken on a wild ride of dealing with lying customer service representatives, a crazy support group, and trying to discover that the CEO of this company is closer than she thinks.The theatre was packed, which is impressive, considering the show is near the end of its run. The stage was very simple with a few chairs and some sort of bench, and the scene changes were funny in their own right. The writer, and main character, Lisa Kron does a wonderful job of mixing the frustrations of a situation that everyone has been in with the humor that comes from watching this situation from the outside. Complete with a full musical number at the end of the show, and audience interaction, this charming show will have you gasping for air by the end.
The Veri**on Play receives a 5 out of 5 bells. The non-stop comedy coupled with the real frustration that everyone has dealt with when it comes to customer service made this show a real winner. The script and interesting character portrayals make this a perfect weekend activity for anyone wanting something new and fresh.
