 Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews: Los Angeles - "Save It for the Stage! The Life of Reilly - 6/26/01
Reilly is an Actor, with a capital "A," who has trained with the best of 'em, worked with the best of 'em, and damn well ought to be thought of in the same class as the rest of 'em.
Reilly gets his laughs from many sources: direct asides to the audience; a running gag in which he "casts" the roles of all the people in his life with well-known actors; some classic one-liners; and, very delicately, in the comedy that is inherent in the tragedy of life.
Reilly repeatedly jokes that the production values of the show are cheap, but there is a difference between "cheap" and "simple," and this production fits perfectly in the latter category.
