Mrs. Brown Rides Again LIVE on stage - A fecking Aussie Review

By Marcella GALLACE

The stage production Mrs Brown Rides Again is muscle aching madness. As in, your cheeks will be left sore from the amount of laughter the production tickles out of you. It’s simply that good.

Sitting eight rows from the stage, in an all packed Sydney Acer Arena, I’m anxiously awaiting its opening. To occupy the wait I start stalking the people around me with my eyes, Ooo I like her fleece sweater and omg that mans flat cap is so cute...it doesn’t take long before I notice I’m one of few twenty-year-olds in the venue.

It doesn’t bother me; finally the older generation have a show catered to them with jokes and family scenarios that they can relate to.

The show begins with a voice over from Mrs Brown, cracking jokes: “Can the owner of numberplate AX3 212 CBD EKD DNBR EMSN... please move their car it’s blocking the fecking entry”. And the laughter begins from the get-go.

As expected the show encompasses those rude sexual innuendos that Mrs Brown is famous for. None that I will give away.

If there is a downfall to the production, it lies in the notion that about 50 percent of the shows content has been seen before on TV. The show carries the same storyline as one particular episode (won’t give it away) with a lot of different dialogue (which is good!), blossoming the funniest of scenes with live improvisation by Mrs Brown.

It’s a great night out and worth the watch.

My Rating: 4 Stars

MRS BROWN’S BOYS IN A NUTSHELL

Mrs Brown's Boys is fresh, energetic and bloody hilarious. A TV series that focuses on lead character, Mrs. Brown, a comical, outspoken widow who constantly sticks her nose where it doesn’t fit – that is, into the lives of her children.

The show is outrightly cheeky, you either have the F bomb flying about or some kind of sexual innuendo brewing from Mrs Brown's end, more often than not you have both at once. But you know what? It works! It’s this risky or should I say risqué move to create a bit of light hearted humour with such subjectivity that literally has audiences crying with laughter. This is undoubtedly why the TV series has attracted millions of loyal Australian followers since its debut on Channel 7 in 2012.
