About YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU

Expect the unexpected in this madcap comedy which centers around a girl from a family of freethinkers who falls for the son of a conservative banker.  The play is a marvelous delight as it paints a richly, colorful portrait of the country’s most eccentric, lovable household. Originally produced on Broadway in 1936, this play ran for nearly three years. The 1938 film won the Oscar for Best Film.  

What critics have said about the play:

“…You Can’t Take It With You is one of the most persuasive works of pure escapism in Broadway history.” – The New York Times

“It’s an over-the-top, old-fashioned comedy and feel-good crowd-pleaser.” – AM New York

“It’s a lot of fun — laughter is so good, and there’s such a lot of it, I wouldn’t have missed it for the world! …if you can see You Can’t Take It With You, you’re in for a good time.” – Let’s Talk Off-Broadway.com
