The story of the two infamous attorneys is back on stage.
Most New Yorkers who know Cellino & Barnes know the personal injury firm from its subway posters, billboards, bus bench ads — and of course its distinctive jingle, 1-800-888-8888.“Cellino v. Barnes” opened at the Asylum Theater on East 24th Street in July, with a run slated through Oct. 13.It was first staged in 2018 in Brooklyn to a sold-out run, and directors Alex Wyse and Wesley Taylor revived the production this summer.
“There’s a lot of fun to be had in sussing out what is real, what actually happened and what is embellished for comedy and satire,” Taylor said. “A lot of it surprisingly did happen.” Wyse said the show’s writers, Mike B. Breen and David Rafailedes, took as a starting point the many facets of the lawyers’ relationship that were documented in court cases and the press.
“Sometimes you’re afraid of getting too big,” Wyse said, laughing. “You know, you want to just keep it niche, keep it for those in the know.”
