Cookin'
off Broadway, Minetta Lane Theater
Manhattan

a review by Christine Fitzgerald

I thought this show was worth the 1,359.12 mile trip to New York City.  The show is a Korean production about cooking for a Korean wedding.  There is very little plot, a lot of food chopping-related percussion, magic, and fun.  I was sitting next to two kids and and they laughed till they almost split.  I don't think they had this much fun at Disneyland.  Part of the time they were laughing at me becuase I was recruited to perform in a little audience participation segment of the show.  Believe me, I didn't volunteer for this, but I was sitting on the second row next to the two lively kids and was apparently an easy target in the audience participation selection process. 

Other folks seem to have enjoyed this show as well, as you can see from the review links and  information below:
