A Thousand Clowns performs At Hanover Tavern March 11 - April 23 2011. This benchmark of Broadway comedy produced one of the theatre's most beloved roles: unconventional Murray (played in our production by Scott Wichmann), uncle to precocious nephew, Nick. Tired of writing cheap comedy gags for "Chipper the Chipmunk", a children's television star, Murray finds himself unemployed with plenty of free time with which to pursue his...pursuits. Lectured by his conventional brother Arnold and hounded by "the system", Murray is paid a visit by bickering, uptight social workers, Sandra and Albert, and finds himself solving their problems as well as most of his own.
"Would be a standout comedy in any season. Filled with laughter and warmth and sweetness and inspired daffiness.
One of the quintessential New York comedies."-NewYork Daily News
"An extraordinarily funny play with some brilliantly offbeat lines."-New York Post. Call 282-2620 for tickets, information, and additional show times.
