**No Spoilers**
I love spontaneous. I think being spontaneous is the fountain of youth. No plans, no reservations, no waiting or research. Get an impulse and go! Sometimes it back fires, but then there is spontaneous plan B. If you can think that fast. As we get older we lose that. Not me not yet.
So yesterday my woman says, we’re going to see “The Motherfucker With The Hat“. All I know is the show starts at 8pm, Chris Rock is featured & tickets are waiting at the box office.
“The MotherFucker With The Hat” is a comedy that deals with real issues. Classic Chris Rock way of getting through to us. The show is fast paced with no intermission so pay attention. Funny, serious, sexy & violent. There is substance abuse, love, fighting, camaraderie & mistrust. One thing missing was singing and I was not disappointed.
Bobby Cannavale plays an ex con alcoholic named Jackie who continually beefs with his girlfriend Veronica played by Elizabeth Rodriguez. She has her own issues as well. Chris Rock character Ralph is there to help Jackie get back on his feet in society as his sponsor. Yul Vazquez killed as Cousin Julio. If any character deserves a spin off of any kind its Cousin Julio.
I don’t even remember how long the show was. Even with the tight Gerald Shoenfield Theater seats hurting my knees I could have sat longer. Still a nice old school theater. We sat 5 rows back on the mezzanine. Great seats and honestly every seat up there is a good seat. Next time I’ll try for balcony seats so I can stretch out a little. Courteous ushers and bars on every level. Go check out “The MotherFucker With The Hat” Serious Bok approves.

What to do after the play? Its Times Square Theater District so pick a place & walk. Hard Rock Cafe’ is in walking distance. The bruschetta is great, beer, mojitos & once in a while they play a song I know.
And of course end the night blowing cigar smoke out the sunroof….LUXE.
