The show gets off to a rambling start, eating up the clock with comic asides such as a man's inebriated wedding toast, and Robbie's grandma Rosie (Rita Gardner) tunefully recalling the indiscretions of her youth. This is time that would be well spent bonding the audience to Robbie and Julia and their best friends, the characters at the heart of the play. Some of this bonding takes place later, for instance, when Robbie and his funny, flaky bandmates drunkenly sing the joys of being "Single" -- but too much later.
