An official closing date of September 4 has been announced for Jackie Mason: Freshly Squeezed at the Helen Hayes Theatre. Mason is expected to tour with the show following its New York run.
Jackie Mason: Freshly Squeezed features material developed during an "unplanned but not unpleasant" extended Florida vacation. Conceived, written and directed by the beloved funnyman, the show focuses on among other new topics same-sex marriage, stock market fraud, celebrities on trial, the epidemic of new diets and politics.
Jackie Mason: Freshly Squeezed opened at the Helen Hayes on March 23. In his Broadway.com review of the show, Kevin Manganaro wrote: "Fans will either be delighted or appalled to find out that Freshly Squeezed is... well, just more of the same. If Madonna is the Mother of Reinvention, Jackie Mason is the Uncle Morty of Stasis… In Freshly Squeezed, his toothless rants make targets of topics ranging from fad diets to how women never pay the dinner check. Is this in any way timely or relevant? Not at all. Even when Mason sets his sights on usually inflammatory political subjects missing weapons of mass destruction, the Middle East peace process, his punches are bloodless."
