Last week at the opening of Tony Danza’s new Broadway show, Honeymoon in Vegas, some of his old friends came to support him. Those old friends are the surviving members of their show Taxi, actors Danny DeVito, Marilu Henner, Christopher Lloyd, Judd Hirsch, Carol Kane and Rhea Perlman, director James Burrows and producer James L Brooks. Since Taxi is one of my all time favorite shows and I love watching repeats on MeTV, this reunion brought a huge smile to my face.
To see Tony, Louis, Elaine, Reverend Jim, Alex, Simka and Zena together again with huge smiles on their faces make me wish they would do a reunion show together. We can see where our favorite cabbies are now. Maybe Louis and Zena got married? Tony became a boxer and is living off endorsements. Alex runs the cab company and he’s married to art studio manager, Elaine. While Reverend Jim was performing a same-sex wedding, he met someone who offered him the perfect job. The ideas are limitless and I hope someone makes it a reality. Too bad Latka (Andy Kaufman), Bobby (Jeff Conaway) and Jeff (J. Alan Thomas) won’t be able to join in, but they will be there in spirit.
Seriously though, how awesome is it to see a full cast, get together, to support one of their own, 31 years after their show ended. There are aren’t too many shows that can say that.
