Review: 

In the extraordinary one woman show, Bridge & Tunnel, written and performed by Sarah Jones and playing at 45 Bleeker Street, Jones gives us a succession of immigrant characters, mostly living in Queens, whose lives and personas are explored with amazing sensitivity and skill as she, with minimal costume changes, switches from male to female, from old to young, and to accents from all over the world. Although the piece boasts lots of humor, it is basically an exploration of the hearts of the characters, and, as directed by Tony Taccone, Ms. Jones does it brilliantly. Bridge & Tunnel is funny, moving in parts, and it makes us acutely aware of the problems, conditions and joys of today's immigrant population.

Catch it. It seems to have a cast of about ten, all of them engaging.
