Imagine one very obsessed man stepping through the proverbial looking glass of life and emerging inside Francis Ford Coppola’s mob masterpiece where his every word and action sub-reference his favorite movie. To regain his (questionable) sanity he forms a pack with the (recurring) voice of Don Corleone who challenges the obsessed man to single handedly act out all the major scenes from the The Godfather (though it must be to the Don’s satisfaction) thus earning his restoration to his so-called normal life. But things don’t always go according to plan. The onstage crew (Fedora and suspender clad, shadowy figures) act as agents of the Don in setting the stage and perhaps sabotaging the man’s earnest efforts. He vaults, handsprings and leaps from character to character to create the uncanny illusion of the film’s characters engaged in each scene. The intensity of Coppola’s great film is called to mind in a hilariously loving tribute.


The actor magically portrays 37 characters in this athletic tour-de-force, reminding audiences of the classic film’s actors (Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, James Caan, Diane Keaton and many others) straight out of their iconic Godfather scenes. The Godfadda Workout creates the fantastic illusion that you too have stepped inside the mafia cult classic.


The award-winning comedy has been viewed at the HBO Comedy Festival where it was hailed as “…the Show to See”. Shortly after the terrific HBO success, The Godfadda Workout opened Off-Broadway where it exploded as a knock out hit drawing rave reviews from the country’s toughest critics and forcing Seth Isler and Susan Jane Sullivan to expand the show’s content. After a triumphant run, the mafia movie spin-off traveled west with performances in Las Vegas at the Golden Nugget Hotel, the Pico Playhouse in Century City and a special engagement at the Norris Center for the Performing Arts in Palos Verdes, CA. During the recent summer 2010 engagement at Bally’s Casino in Atlantic City, The Godfadda Workout received standing ovations every night and spectacular reviews from all the attending press – newspaper, web, video, radio and NBC TV Entertainment. The show has taken on the characteristics of many great cult classics with audiences returning over and over (often dressing in mob style).



Coast to coast, fans have followed this unique saga across the country and continue to come back for more Godfadda and more laughs.
