The name Rachel Rockwell has me intrigued.  Didn't see the movie. Didn't read the book.  The video is okay - but not breathtaking (and seems to borrow a bit from Billy Elliott - with rockets replacing ballet).  I guess we'll know more soon....

Well, the BWW review round-up appears promising:https://www.broadwayworld.com/chicago/article/Review-Roundup-OCTOBER-SKY-at-The-Marriott-Theatre-20150828

Although, Theatreinchicago classifies Chris Jones' review as "somewhat recommended" which is not the impression I get from the BWW excerpt:  https://www.theatreinchicago.com/october-sky/reviews/7866/

May have to drive up to Lincolnshire to see this. I loved the movie, want to see what they did with this.

It will be fun to see how October Sky evolves as it moves on to the Old Globe!  I really enjoyed the first iteration in Chicago.
