Tonight I saw Jackie Hoffman's one woman show, "The Kvetching Continues" at the Renberg Theater. Hilarious! Hoffman played three featured roles in Hairspray on Broadway (Mother, Gym Teacher, Prison Matron) and was in the movie "Kissing Jessica Stein."
But she hasn't become a big star -- and she's bitter about it. Too many times she's been told she's "too Jewish" for a role. So you can imagine what she has to say about her inability to even get an audition for "Fiddler on the Roof."
This is her second run at the Renberg Theater. The first time around she sold out her shows. Tonight's audience was rather sparse. And Hoffman let us know what she thinks about L.A. theater audiences. Bravo to Jackie!
