Review: My First Ex-Husband at MMAC Theater in New York City - Real Stories about Real Women You'll Really Enjoy

By Suzanne "Suzee" Ordas Curry

Well she had been talking about producing this show for months on THE VIEW, so of course, being the Joy Behar fan that I am I had to go see My First Ex-Husband as soon as it came out. It is playing at the MMAC Theater in New York City until April 20th, 2025.   

Given that Joy started as a comedian (well she was a teacher also) it's no surprise that this comedian extraordinaire turned the tables on a mainstay of male comedian humor  - wives.  Who can forget the classic line, "Take my wife - PLEASE!!"  

So this show turns the tables. Written by Joy Behar with her exceptional brand of humor, truth and storytelling, the show is several stories of women's ex-husbands, beautifully and believable delivered by a bevy of well-known and accomplished women in the arts and entertainment. For this first rendition, the cast was Joy Behar, Susie Essman, Tovah Feldshuh and Adrienne C. Moore.
