Sonya & Michael’s downstairs neighbor Sam. Don’t get me wrong, Sonya and Michael’s story is great…and even Michael’s mother, Dr. Lee is absolutely hilarious; as well, the co-op President Wendee… but the real scene grabber is Sonya’s downstairs gay neighbor, Sam. From his snappy one-liners, fabulous caftan dress, to his wine guzzling as the story unfolds, nearly every word out of his mouth brought a hearty laugh out of the crowd.
