Play is rollicking good fun for all

Regarding Theresa Goffredo’s Friday review of Village Theatre’s presentation of “The Gypsy King”: Perhaps the next time The Herald should send a reviewer who has a sense of whimsey. She thought it might be better suited for her 6-year-old.

We are in our 60s and found it to be nonsensical, whimsical, slapstick with a vaudeville flavor, toe-tapping, LOL funny! It was just as advertised: Rollicking good fun!
