TL;DR

Deadline's Broadway review finds the concept—celebrities reading other stars' memoirs—interesting in theory but underwhelming in execution: even with a strong lineup (Adsit, Cantone, Hiller, Hoffman, Jackson, Martin, Vardalos, Wilson), the show feels bare-bones and too small for a Broadway venue, delivering few laughs despite moments like standout impressions; running time is 1 hour 30 minutes and tickets range from $49 to $329.
