According to People, the play, written by Renée Taylor, reflects on the love she shared with her late husband, Joe Bologna, a relationship that inspired much of her creative life. Drescher praised Taylor, now 92, for her brilliance, calling her a “magical genius” who both opened and closed the heartfelt production. The evening offered not only a touching tribute to Taylor and Bologna’s love story but also a reminder of the enduring creativity within The Nanny circle.
Nicholle Tom took center stage in the play as she portrayed a young Renée Taylor, a role Drescher described as “fearless and incredible.” With Jack Maxwell delivering a strong performance as Bologna and other talented actors supporting, the night proved to be a triumph in storytelling. Fans of the sitcom recognized familiar touches, including costumes designed by Emmy winner Brenda Cooper, who had previously worked on The Nanny.
A Reunion Filled With Gratitude
The mini The Nanny reunion was as heartfelt behind the scenes as it was on stage. Drescher expressed her admiration for her costars, while Tom shared her gratitude for the actress’s support, writing that it “meant the world” to see her at the show.

As Drescher reflected on the evening, it became clear this Nanny reunion was more than just a night at the theater. It was a celebration of friendship, artistry, and the enduring bond between cast members who continue to bring joy to fans decades later.
