It is that kind\u2014zany, joyful and assertive.\u201d \n\u201cThe acting is generally good\u2026Randy Kim (the thief) is superbly innocuous\u2026.\u201d \n\u201c\u2019BABA GOYA\u2019 IN WITH NEW NAME\u2026.But the funniest moments are contributed by Randy Kim as the manacled Japanese and R.A. Dow as his captor.\u201d \t\t\t\t\t\tDouglas Watt, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS (10\/4\/1973) \n\u201cEight of the nine players were with the show previously and have settled into their roles with added sureness. Olympia Dukakis continues to reign as a frail Mother Courage. Of the others John Randolph, Richard Dow and Randy Kim merit particular admiration for distinctive achievement. \u201cNourish the Beast\u2019 is a dandy gloom-chaser.\u201d [aesop_gallery pslightbox=”on” transition=”crossfade” caption=”Photos by Martha Holmes” galleryType=”grid” id=”908″] Review Excerpts \u201cTESICH VISITS FAMILY IN QUEENS\u2026.And then there was Randy Kim, playing a handcuffed criminal with what can only justly be termed a frantic aplomb\u2026\u201d \u2013Clive Barnes, NEW YORK TIMES (5\/22\/1973) \u201c\u2019BABA GOYA\u2019 FUNNY, FLIMSY FARCE\u2026.The cast of nine […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":268,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-performances"],"metadata":{"_wp_old_date":["2021-12-03"]},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
