Review: ‘Meteor Shower’ misses the mark with its scattered plot

The stars supply most of the fireworks in “Meteor Shower,” a scattershot – and even scatterbrained – comedy of bad manners by Steve Martin at the Booth Theatre. The cast member whose presence is undoubtedly fueling the heat at the box office is of course Amy Schumer, the fearlessly and delightfully vulgar comic and star of her own television series. But her trio of co-stars – the television and film name Keegan-Michael Key, alongside theater veterans Laura Benanti and Jeremy Shamos – also provide plenty of assured comic acting. They all help spackle over the jagged holes in Martin’s play about two couples who gather for a night of stargazing that turns unexpectedly combustible, sexually and otherwise.
