Review: AND THE WINNER IS... at The Laboratory Theater Of Florida

Mitch Albom's AND THE WINNER IS... at The Laboratory Theater of Florida tells the story of Oscar-nominated actor Tyler Johnes and an unexpected event he encounters on the day of the Oscars.

TJ Albertson played Tyler Johnes, and he did a great job of displaying the range of emotions Tyler went through as he realized his life would quite literally never exist as it once did. He had to learn about what was important in life and work on changing some things in order to find peace, and Albertson did very well at telling his story.

Tyler's rivalry with Kyle Morgan (Michael Andrew) was very fun to watch, as these two men kept attempting to outdo each other in everything, and especially because they were both nominated for the same Oscar category. Tyler was also bitter because he made an assumption that Kyle had "stolen" his wife, Sheri (Danielle Channell), and that led to an interesting dynamic between all three of them.

Though AND THE WINNER IS... had a pretty simple plot and was a fairly short play, it was quite entertaining and had a good overall message that is worth checking out if you have the chance.
