Come Blow Your Horn

Gunston Arts Center
2700 S. Lang Street Arlington

TACT's first-ever Neil Simon show is his first Broadway hit, Come Blow Your Horn, more famous today for its movie adaptation starring Frank Sinatra and the Academy Award-winning song it spawned, "High Hopes" ("Everyone knows an ant can't...move a rubber tree plant!"). A funny and warm Jewish family comedy with the trademark Simon gags and the dramatic sensibilities he returned to later in his career with his Brighton Beach Trilogy.

"...The American Century Theater (TACT) has an ambitious portfolio of theater performances, defined by their mission statement as presenting the classics of the 20th Century. The last play I reviewed here was J.B., which was a dramatic tour de force. This time TACT aims for a broad comedy and entertains us with an early Neil Simon play, a precursor to his long run as a Broadway superstar. This was Neil Simon's first attempt at using 'the odd couple' comic device, which was successfully utilized throughout his career."

American Century Theater’s charming new production of Neil Simon’s Come Blow Your Horn follows the comically mismatched Baker brothers as they deal with mistaken identity, family drama, and romantic misadventures. As the play unfolds, American Century’s snappy, heartwarming production quickly proves it can stand toe to toe with Simon’s massively popular The Odd Couple on both comedic and dramatic fronts.
