Neil Simon is at it again in the awesomely funny comedy GOD’S FAVORITE! Successful businessman Joe Benjamin is a modern day ‘Job’ with a loving wife, two clueless but supportive younger children, and a household staff. But he is exasperated with his wise-cracking and seemingly apathetic oldest son. Just when it seems things couldn’t get any worse, he is visited by Sidney Lipton, a.k.a. A Messenger from God (and compulsive film buff), with a mission: test Joe’s faith and report back to “the Boss.” The jokes and tests of faith fly fast and furious as Simon spins a comedy like no other in this hilarious contemporary morality tale.
