Another FANTASTIC review, this time from Broadway World. Two weeks left, get your tickets while you can, these last 2 weeks will start to sell out!

"There is much humor, sometimes subtle, sometimes blunt, but always perfectly placed in the script at just the right moments, and all of the actors are genuine in their portrayals. There is also contemplation, pain, and the will to survive and actually thrive that comes about."

"I really enjoyed the physicality the actors used in their work, giving energy and authenticity to scenes and the characters, which was a great directorial move."

This story takes place within a few weeks' time, about an affable guy who happens to be grieving a devastating loss. a?oeChamp,a?? a nickname Richard's beloved wife dubbed him, is all stressed out. It has been a year since his wife has passed away, and he has settled into his lonely but nonetheless....

Emotional ‘Champ and His Four Women’ examines life, love and loss through Nov. 24 in NoHo

Review by Mary Mallory, Tolucan Times

Life is never easy, especially after the death of a beloved spouse. Art Shulman’s Champ and His Four Women at T. U. Studios takes a thoughtful look at grief and moving on, blending excellent acting and fine writing in a tale of life, love and loss.

Richard, nicknamed Champ, (Anthony Backman) is still reeling after the tragic death the year before of his beloved wife Susie (Rebecca Westberg), whom he lovingly referred to as Princess. Still talking to her and seeking out her approval, Champ has begun noticing attractive women at his local deli (Shelby Janes) and gym (Caroline Westheimer). Does he feel confident enough to let go of his sweet Princess and seek out new companionship?

Backman’s steady, charming presence anchors the show, revealing a sensitive, expressive man hiding underneath the sarcastic humor. Leah Bass offers comic relief as the know-it-all but helpful neighbor Esther, quick with a quip and helpful advice. Westheimer makes real estate agent Cheryl a sexy though sensitive potential love partner, and Janes brings some sassy energy to the effervescent Annie. Westberg’s Princess acts as an ethereal presence enveloping and sustaining Champ’s life.

Shulman brings a light though thoughtful look at grieving, healing, and moving on, blending tender moments with comic relief in his moving script. Director Stan Mazin keeps action intimate and personal in the small space.

Champ and His Four Women takes an emotional and nuanced look at grieving.

“Champ and His Four Women” plays Friday and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm through November 24 at T.U. Studios located at 10943 Camarillo St. in North Hollywood. Tickets cost $24, $18 for seniors and $10 for students under 26. Call (818) 646-0007 for tickets or information

CHAMP AND HIS FOUR WOMEN by Carol Kaufman Segal


Champ and His Four Women is a new play written by local playwright Art Shulman. He has written many
full-length plays that include comedies, dramas, and dramedies. He says, “I’ve written over 60 plays,
including 14 produced full-length plays (some not produced yet) and many one-acts.” His plays have
been produced throughout the United States as well as in Canada.

A premier of one of Shulman’s plays, Champ and His Four Women, is being performed at T.U. Theatre in
North Hollywood. It takes place in the living room of Champ’s condominium in the present time. Champ
is also known as Richard (Anthony Backman).

Richard lives alone and has since his wife Princess, also known as Susie (Rebecca Westberg) passed away
three years ago. Unfortunately, her demise has left a big hole in Richard’s life and, in his imagination he
still sees her and communicates with her. Obviously, Richard’s whole life is in confusion, and he has
difficulty living it normally. Therefore, he decides to put his condo up for sale.

Enter Real Estate Agent Cheryl (Caroline Westheimer) a very attractive young lady who, without meaning
to, upsets Richard’s life somewhat because he finds her an attractive friendly lady. Richard does not seek
a woman in his life since his marriage was so perfect with Susie. However, his wonderful neighbor, Esther
(Leah Bass) finds Caroline in his house in an early morning when she delivers him his laundry which she,
so helpfully, has been doing for him since the loss of Susie. Of course, he plays down the evening they
spent together and lets Esther know that they each slept in separate bedrooms. Of course, Esther thinks
that it is time for Richard to begin a normal life, and finding a mate can’t be wrong.

And wouldn’t you know it? Another lovely young lady, Annie (Shelby Janes) enters his life and she has an
eye for him as well. And now he is torn more, meanwhile, trying to figure out what is happening to him
while he continues his conversations with his imaginative Susie. In his struggle to return to a happy life,
he must deal with four women, Esther who tries to give him advice, Cheryl, his real estate professional,
Annie, a cute woman who sometimes reminds him of Susie, and then there is Susie who doesn’t really
exist. Will Richard finally make his decision to come back to life and choose a woman to make him happy
once again?

Champ and His Four Women has a great deal of reality to it. It is not unusual when a perfect marriage is
upset by the loss of one’s partner and the remaining one finds it difficult to go on living a happy life. But
that is life, and we have to hope that the remaining spouse can keep on living a normal life after a certain
amount of time devoted to bereavment.

The play is written in a light comedy style with a talented cast that does justice to their characters under
the astute direction of Stan Mazin.

It plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM, Sundays at 2 PM, through November 24, at Theatre Unlimited
(T.U. Studios), 10943 Camarillo St., North Hollywood. For tickets, go to onstage411.com.
