Look Ma…No Ears ends where Alley's life currently stands. Another show, another audition another chance at getting her big break and another lesson learned along the way there. It's easy for the audience to wonder if the whole performance of Look Ma…No Ears is really just one 75 minute long audition. While I believe that is not Alley's goal, it is however what her show unintentionally turns out to be. In actuality, Alley is really just telling her story and giving outsiders the chance to peak in and see what she's doing. However, this quick glimpse into her life shows with pristine clarity that Alley is a hard worker with a passion about Broadway who is not going to let a couple of knocks take her down. She's full of the good stuff that success stories are made of. She acknowledges through humor and song her trials of being a struggling actress and her forever legacy of being one of the few Mouseketeers still working to achieve her day in the sun. Alley clearly understands her childhood offers her no guarantee in the door, but is determined to get in just the same. If you didn't know Alley back in the days when wearing mouse ears was cool, you'll know her soon. With or without mouse ears, the girl can sing, the girl can dance and the girl can act – you'll see her soon; she's not going away just yet.
Look Ma…No Ears is currently playing at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in the West Bank Café located at 407 West 42nd Street between 9th and 10th Avenues. Performance schedule is Tuesdays at 7pm, Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm. Please call 212-279-4200 for tickets.
