[Michael] Shaw has proven time and again that he knows how to elevate the comedy in a script. The Garbologists is no exception

“[Michael] Shaw has proven time and again that he knows how to elevate the comedy in a script. The Garbologists is no exception. Run time is about 90 minutes with no intermission but you’ll never look at your watch,” writes Kay Kudukis for Broadway World.

“I have to say that Roa [Danny] is an incredibly compelling actor. This is my first time seeing him, and he had me at hello. He has this teddy-bear warmth with a sweet goofiness to him that is reminiscent of Chris Pratt. It doesn’t hurt that he looks like him too.

“Bennett’s character [Marlowe] is a mystery, and she wants to keep it that way. She has a surprising hidden agenda, and that makes sense because why would a woman with a face and body like Nicole Scherzinger want to work as a garbage collector? It’s not like you’re gonna get rich. So of course there’s a reason, it’s a pivotal part of the play so I’m not gonna spoil it. There is a great tension-breaking moment about fifteen minutes into act one when Bennett’s tough-skinned Marlowe has a task to accomplish, and her determination to accomplish said task shows her feel for physical comedy.”
