Review:
Interactive dinner show a hit

Be on the lookout for Mr. Big.

That's what guests of "Ba Da Bing," the Orleans' interactive dinner show, are told as they rehearse songs, dances and cheers for a surprise birthday bash for the Don.

But the group of supposed Italians can hardly keep the secret. "Ba Da Bing" is such a lively good time that the only thing you'll be on the lookout for is the next chance to put your hands together, get out of your seat and join the fun.

It plays out while the members of each "family" - the Spaghettis, the Antipastos, etc. - sit down to break bread with each other in the name of a celebration. This, of course, requires a "don" at each table to sign the cease-fire agreement, as they're normally trying to kill each other.

The party is hosted by Frankie Morone (pronounced "Moron"), who's trying to get back into Mr. Big's good graces. It turns out the stooge was supposed to send Mr. Big's rivals, the BadAssio Brothers, to sleep with the fishes, and instead sent them to the Canary Islands - to sleep with the finches. He hopes to return to his former position of right-hand man by pulling out all the stops for the big B's birthday.

This means employing is ex-girlfriend, Chickie Parmesan, to perform for the Don, as she's his favorite entertainer.

Ted Davey, as Frankie and Nikki Oxley, as Chickie, are fun to watch, particularly when they're bickering. Their roles are funny, if not a bit over the top, but there's lots of license to do so here.

They're backed by a great supporting cast that includes Pepper Vega (Karin Denise), Mr. Big's loud and under-medicated niece and her husband, the womanizing Johnny (Tom Wallek).

Prepared by the kitchen of Gustav Mauler, the delicious dinner show begins with a Caesar salad, followed by your choice of salmon with honey basil sauce, meat lasagna, chicken Marsala or a grilled ribeye steak with whiskey peppercorn sauce. Dessert is homemade tiramisu, followed by a glass of champagne.

It's full of corny jokes, but "Ba Da Bing" is pure fun, mostly due to its audience participation. You might help to finger suspects infiltrating the party, dance the Tarantella or participate in a contest to jump out of the birthday cake. It's funny, but not embarrassing to the participants. "Ba Da Bing" seems to have struck just the right balance.
