Sinopsis

áá'In Willy HoltzmanâÇÖs skillfully structured play...itâÇÖs December, 1964, and Judy Holliday, at a recording session, tells stories of her life and career between takes. Exquisitely painted scenes show the actress, born Judy Tuvim (Hebrew for 'holidays'), performing cabaret with her friends Adolph Green, Betty Comden, and Lenny Bernstein, auditioning for Born Yesterday, fighting off the predatory producer Darryl Zanuck, using her wits at a Senate hearing to avoid naming names in the McCarthy era, and encountering Gerry Mulligan and Marilyn Monroe. ...the depth, insecurity, intelligence, and strength of Judy Tuvim.'Ken Marks, The New Yorkeráá'...commissioning Willy HoltzmanâÇÖs SMART BLONDE for this yearâÇÖs Pittsburgh City Theatre season turned out to be a smart move. Last nightâÇÖs SMART BLONDE opening was (as the critics like to say) a triumph (or, as my saintly mother would have said: 'one for the books!')ááá...[It] was WillyâÇÖs work up to WillyâÇÖs high standards-with his usual mix of drama, comedy, character, shameful American politics and, in this case, songs from the American Songbook...'Frank Gagliano, Stage Voices
