Laughter on the 23rd Floor*
Sep. 25 – Nov. 18

Laughter on the 23rd Floor“Fast-paced insults, off-the-top non-sequitors and flashes of brilliance… plenty of one-liners and bright comic performances.”  -- Jay Handelman, Sarasota Herald-Tribune

“Laughter on The 23rd Floor keeps its audiences laughing from beginning to end.” -- Kim Cool, Venice Gondolier

“Golden Apple’s take on the shenanigans of those who wrote comedy of Sid Caeser shows. Director Bob Turoff’s feelings for Simon runs deep. The result is a production that outdoes the play. Not only bemoaning of the last days of TVs golden age of comedy, but also in generating warmth.”  -- Marie Kilker, AisleSay Florida

“There’s comedy tonight with Laughter on The 23rd Floor at the Golden Apple Dinner Theatre. The show is well-cast with everyone getting a chance to show what they can do.”  -- Kay Kipling, Sarasota Magazine

“Laughter on The 23rd Floor at the Golden Apple has it all: good characters, strong acting, tons of laughs and even something to think about. You can’t ask for much more than that.”  -- Eric Delp, Bradenton Herald

“The Golden Apple’s production of Neil Simon’s Laughter on The 23rd Floor is a MUST-SEE night of comedy!” – Terry Fugate, SCENE Magazine

Laughter on the 23rd Floor is a “screamingly funny” (Philadelphia Inquirer) broadway hit about a team of comedy writers in television’s Golden Age. Broadway’s funniest playwright writing about a team of comedy writers? It’s no wonder Laughter on the 23rd Floor is “the funniest comedy on Broadway in years (Variety).” Set in 1953, Neil Simon’s “flat-out funniest play in years” (Dennis Cunningham, CBS- TV) re-creates the mayhem, neuroses, nonstop gags and constant one-upmanship of a team of brilliantly funny social misfits as they write The Max Prince Show, a weekly variety program.
