My husband and I got together to go to the theatre. We bought tickets for a performance at the Vyborgsky Palace of Culture on October 7 for the performance Love Is Not a Potato. To be honest, I fell for famous artists - Nina Usatova, Igor Sklyar, Alexander Mikhailov ..... Since I bought the ticket on the site "[link]" I read there which artists would play and they were listed there. But instead of Mikhailov, it turned out to be Pankratov-Cherny , Sklyar was not there at all and there were still 2 artists unknown to me, and in total 5 people were involved in the performance. The tickets are very expensive, they paid 5 thousand 770 rubles with the box office for 2 tickets.
The hall was almost full. The performance goes with one intermission of 30 minutes and 2 acts for about an hour and twenty minutes. There is no plot in the performance, it is called "from empty to empty" the scenery has not changed all the time, all the time they were crowded together. The action takes place in the village: a drinking husband, his mother, wife and daughter. me, daughter, wife) that he is crazy. This crazy plot is built on this. There is no sense, some kind of vulgar humor.
At the end of the performance, people from the government of St. Petersburg came to congratulate Nina Usatova on her anniversary, I liked this moment the most, the artist Andrey Urgant, Vanya Urgant's dad, also congratulated her.
People's Artist Nina Nikolaevna Usatova celebrated her jubilee by playing in the play "Love is not a potato, you can't throw it out the window" in the Vyborgsky Palace of Culture.
The production is generally rich in well-known artists - another "populist" Pankratov-Cherny, "honored" Arkady Koval and Zoya Buryak.
But, I will start from the end - with congratulations. I confess honestly
My birthday was a surprise for me. After the performance, "officials" took the stage ...
The delegation was not very large - someone from the Committee for Culture,
as well as Andrei Urgant, who has lost weight, in a horse mask, which he presented to the birthday girl.
and Director of the Palace of Culture Elena Potylitsyna.
In general, it remains to join all the warm words and sincere wishes and, on my own behalf, wish to beat Nina Nikolaevna Zeldina in every sense.
As for the performance, everything about it is relatively obvious and somewhat sad.
This is a classic Full House comedy. It's even a shame that such artists waste time on such theatrical fiction.
But, each genre has its own audience, and theatrical pop, of course, has a large audience.
Women are predominantly 50+. around me often laughed out loud. Me too - I chuckled a couple of times, yes, it was funny.
Lighting was generally simple, with only a few scenes having light painting.
But in general, everything was in such scenery with uniform lighting.
Okay - I really want to write warm words to Nina Semenova, who plays the mother in the play. Great job!
The play of the other artists was also on top - yet their level has already received official recognition. Pankratov-Cherny remained himself.
There are some changes in modern theatrical art. New styles appear, on the basis of which new performances are staged. But there are 2 types of productions that never lose their relevance - these are classical works and performances based on real events. Life stories that are a mirror of all human vices, at all times attracted viewers. One of these productions is the performance in the Variety Theater "Love is not a potato, you can't throw it out the window."

This performance is an amazingly funny comedy, a record holder for sold-out in the cities of Russia! The lyrical comedy will make Kirov residents laugh for the 4th time. The play with dances, songs and ditties tells about a few days in the life of the Siberian hinterland. They are full of inexhaustible folk humor and enthusiasm. The subtle musical background, as well as the love-detective intrigue in the plot of the play, gives the performance a special charm and dynamism.
An almost anecdotal situation became the plot of a real Russian comedy “Love is not a potato”: a young and interesting urban artist comes to stay with an ordinary village family. Everything would be fine if it were not for the jealous boyfriend of the daughter of the family: fearing an affair between the bride and the visiting guest Victor, the jealous Mikhail warns that family members should be wary - supposedly they are all “with regards”. And to his future relatives, Mikhail describes in colors the “abnormality” of the artist himself, catching them with fear. All this confusion leads to a whole chain of misunderstandings and comical situations ....
