Clue: A New Comedy
Clue was the longest and hardest I have ever worked on a show. For 18 months, we performed 8 times a week in a total of 54 cities across the US and Canada. This show changed my life. I was lucky to share the stage with Broadway vets, and even luckier when my wife joined the show for the last 6 months.
here are some of my favorite reviews:
"His sense of comedic timing is spot-on, be it in a wittily delivered rejoinder, a hammy reaction, or some physical acrobatics. Of the entire cast, Shartzer seems to best understand how to walk the delicate line required to make farce a fast-paced, larger-than-life endeavor while still keeping his character grounded in reality."
-Entertainment Weekly
"...John Shartzer steals the show, in the best way possible...Mr. Shartzer is exceptionally skilled in comedic timing, and dramatic movement. He takes the stage by storm and leaves nothing behind in his wake, unless you count or jaws on the floor, after this truly electric performance."
-BroadwayWorld Tampa
"John Shartzer...stands out for his absolutely wondrous physical comedy skills...After this single performance, I'd put him on par with some of our greatest physical comedians: Buster Keaton, Marton Short, and the Bay Area's own Bill Irwin. "
