The Kathy & Mo Show: Parallel Lives/The Darker Side at the Smith Theatre has all of the right ingredients to make you laugh the night away. Mary Kate O’Connell and Pamela Rose Mangus star in this sensational show as Kathy & Moe and allow theater-goers to experience why they are known to be the Divas of WNY theater.
The show opens with O’Connell and Mangus, two Supreme Beings, who plan the beginning of the world. Once they’ve decided on the color scheme of the races in this world, they are a little concerned that white people will feel slighted being such a boring color. Afraid women will have too many advantages, the Mangus and O’Connell decide to make childbirth painful and to give men enormous egos as compensation. From this moment, the show is filled with comic segments that nicely blend into one another. This Buffalo audience is whisked through the outrageously funny shenanigans of Kathy and Mo, where these multiple Artie award winning actresses play men and women struggling through the common rituals of modern life: teenagers on a date, sisters at their grandmother’s funeral, a cowboy trying to pick up a woman in a country-western bar (my favorite segment of all).
Yes, the stage is quite bare but these two actors allow the stage to become alive by the depth of their portrayals. O’Connell and Mangus work great as a team and use every opportunity to send a message to the audience about difficult topics such as death, relationships, diversity and the right to choose. They are at their best when deep in character.
This dynamic duo is sure to entertain you and send light-hearted messages that make you think about life all night long. Don’t miss your chance to see this side-splitting O’Connell & Company spectacular!
