NEW YORK—The struggle to balance one’s own needs with those of a significant other can involve compromise, patience, understanding, and more than a few emotional outbursts along the way. Making this point is “Gene & Gilda,” Cary Gitter’s funny, touching, and somewhat uneven work, which examines the relationship between actors Gene Wilder (1933–2016) and Gilda Radner (1946–1989).
Directed smartly by Joe Brancato and punctuated with some enjoyable musical and dancing interludes, the show can now be seen at 59E59 Theaters.
