The musical comedy has been playing to capacity audiences in Chicago for two years . . . and is the Windy City's longest run- ning original musical com- edy. This is indeed a BrOther- hood and Sisterhood prod- uction . . . The two pro- ducers, Libby Adler Mages and Dan Goldman are Jewish . . . Their company is called Mavin Productions, Inc. . . . The director, Mike Nussbaum is Jewish . . . as is Donna Kaye, choreog- rapher . . . and Larry Hochman, musical director. But the show is very far from having any semblance of Jewish flavor . . . It is about a former student going back to visit the Catholic school he graduated from . . . and it becomes a humorous, very well performed and most entertaining flashback to the schooldays . . . through elementary to high_ school . . . with school classrooms, confession sessions, schoolyard fun, nun trio and quartet, the Father singing . . . Freshman High School Frolic, senior prom, etc. The music, singing and dancing are wonderful .. . more so in the second half it seemed as the first segment tended to lag in spots .. . Taking co-honors with the very fine cast were four "magic" boxes that made up most of the scenery except for a few drops . . . The boxes were a show in themselves . . . with the performers changing them around into all sorts of school scenery . . . Whoever devised these boxes merits a star billing also.

NORTHFIELD HILTON 5500 Crooks Rd. at 1-75 Troy, Michigan 48098 (313) 879-2100 ducers and a Jewish direc- tor, you would sort of look for a few errors in the schoolways of Catholicism . . . However, everything is done without a flaw . . . And it is wonderful to see the fun side of life that goes on in a Catholic school instead of religion as too many non- professional plays try so un- successfully to relate. "Do Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?" has au- thenticity, yet stays away from the religious aspect .. . It is a musical comedy in the strict sense of the word .. . and all of it is just that .. . The original songs.are great . . . the singing and dancing are wonderful . . . the acting is excellent. "Do Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?" runs through May 10 . . . See it if you can. MICKEY SHORR is now in the delicatessen business down in Pasadena, Fla.. . . It's called Bijou Deli . . . and people are coming from all over to see Mickey's new spot . . . Take it from ex-Detroiters Ann and Ernie Iczkovitz and Anne and Jack Belkin, "It's about time we got a deli like we're used to back in Detroit." GROUND BREAKING for Sisters Chicken & Bis- cuits was recently on Woodward and Marshall (81/2 Mile) . . -with expecta- tions for opening in about 90 days. . IS IT TRUE . . . that the Standard Club which closed doors in the Detroit Plaza . . . after so many years with the Book-Cadillac . . . may take over Oscar's on restaurant-nitery Northwestern? THERE IS A dinner- theater in town that has no name . . . just a style . . . It's called Gonzo Theater that has begun its fifth month at Stouffer's Northland Inn on J.L. Hudson Drive . . . Its run is for an extended period . . . with changes. What was once called The Grogshop, with peanut shells on the floor, is today the site of Gonzo Theater . comprised of a series of humorous blackouts .. . funny dialogue . . . spoofs on commercials . . . spoofs on life . . . a "duel" between two gourmets, etc. A cast of four persons are on stage . . . Ralph Valatka, Kelley Crowley, Hal Doyle and Beth Hallo . . . perform- ing Friday and Saturday evenings with dinner served at 7:30 and show at 9 p.m. are parts Some naughty but nice ... done very cleverly and far from offensive to anyone. Gonzo Theater is a well- paced entertaining series of spoofs in good fun . . . Most of the dialogue is excellent . . . and the performers are laden with talent. It's fun . . . the cast all comes off stage to sing happy birthday in unison to celebrants . . . The humor- ous short' skits show a lot of .7' k ■ • • talent while tickling the funnybone. Gonzo Theater seats about 70 with mostly all in- dividual tables for two or four and larger numbers .. . The sitdown dinner is a big asset rather than those cattle-packing buffets. Gonzo is a delightful eve- ning. ERRATA . . . made a boo-boo on name of delic tessen opened at Tally-Ha_ . . . It's not The Deli . . . this is at Muirwood Square on Grand River and Drake .. . owned by Sandy Greenberg and Mike Onofrey. The Deli Place is at Tally-Hall. JOAN FELDMAN, pro- ducer of "My Fair Sadie" being presented by Rey Ut Unit, Bnai Brith . . . April 4-5 . . . at Oak Park High School auditorium, is one of the very talented gals who rewrote the lyrics and play . . . Others are . . . Linda Er- lich, Marilyn Rothstein, Kendra Tobes, Judy Bloom- berg and Elaine Bass. The members rewrote the "My Fair Lady" show with a complete Yiddish flavor .. . such as lyrics like "Sadie makes exotic dishes — spe- cialty is knishes" . . . and it is entirely in English .. . Also Sher and Hora dancing at the wedding party scene. Recent rehearsal had Phil and Eve Spitz, par- ents of Steve Spitz, enjoy- ing every moment be- cause they won't be in town for the show ... It was Earl Freeman's 38th birthday . . . and Carol Stoller baked a cake to go with - the ice cream .. . Carol takes a cake de- corating class so brings a cake to almost every re- hearsal • • • Paul Feldman, who plays a gay gent, practices his "swish" daily in front of a full-length mirror at home . . "I'm retiring my wife from show busi- ness," says Mike Bloom- berg, but Judy says differently. Rey Ut Unit of Bnai Brith could be the group taking the place of those wonderful Infant Service Group shows the community used to love . . . and to this day still miss. There is so much tale among the Rey Ut memb ship . . . singing, dancin acting, comedy. "My Fair Sadie" by the membership . . . April 4-5 . . . at the Oak Park High auditorium on Oak Park Blvd. . . . should be the amateur smash of this or any year . . . if rehearsals and enthusiasm are much indication . . . In the case of Rey Ut Bnai Brith's "My Fair Sadie" they are .. . very much so. GOOD WAITRESS DEPT. . . .
