Lyric’s ‘West Side Story’ in remount is red-hot, if perhaps safe
If you missed Lyric’s 2019West Side Story , here’s your chance to re-engage with this star-crossed classic.
Chicago stop for ‘Into the Woods’ tour irreplicably magical
The magical Into the Woods is touring the country, but its opening night in Chicago was proof-positive of the magic of live theatre.
Mercury’s ‘Big River’, if muddy, rings crystal clear
Mercury Theater’s Big River is expectedly impeccable, and what it has to say is as important as ever, even if the musical itself remains imperfect.
Rockin’ (with an option to roll): Drury Lane’s ‘Grease’ and Paramount’s ‘School of Rock’
Rock (‘n’ roll) is here to stay in Chicagoland this spring.
Grand slams all ‘round at Marriott’s ‘Damn Yankees’
Fortunately for Chicagoland patrons—or unsurprisingly, given their batting average—Marriott Theatre’s new production of Damn Yankees is pitch-perfect. (There may be more baseball puns in store.)
‘Jagged Little Pill’ and ‘The Book of Mormon’ thru Broadway in Chicago
Two musicals tackling everything under the sun.
Brilliant tech: COT’s ‘The Life and Death(s) of Alan Turing’ and Lyric Opera’s ‘Proximity’
Two brand new opera productions—one about a brilliant technician, the other technically theatrically brilliant.
Theo’s ‘Threepenny Opera’ gleams like an old dirty penny, as it should
Brecht and Weill’s sleazy oddball classic may be formally dusty, but its social commentary endures and the tongue-in-cheek depravity meshes well with these restless cynical times.
‘Tina’ probably ain’t river-deep, but its talent soars mountain-high
If shaggy around the edges, Tina is in its way charming and endearing, and Zurin Villanueva commands a stage like it’s her own arena.
On the art of reinvention: ‘Once’ at Writers Theatre and ‘1776’ thru Broadway in Chicago
One production casts its material in a new light while another blows itself up and puts it back together
Upsy down: Paramount’s ‘Into the Woods’ and 4 Chairs’ ‘Ride the Cyclone’
Two musicals that, in their own ways, take you on a galloping ride.
You won’t forget, can’t regret catching ‘A Chorus Line’ at Drury Lane
With a knock-out triple-threat ensemble, Drury Lane’s production lives up to the musical’s award-laden legend.
