What did our critic think of CHICAGO THE MUSICAL at Broadway Palm?

A struggling quartet, The Plaids, is on their way to their big break when their car is hit by a bus and all four are killed instantly. By some cosmic mystery, however, they’re allowed to come back to earth to do that show just one time.

Players Circle Theater, a professional regional theater located in Fort Myers, FL is holding an OPEN CALL for actors with local housing. 

Players Circle’s season kicks off in October with a hilarious farce that will set the tone for the entire season, BEDROOM FARCE (October 22, 2024 – November 17, 2024) written by Alan Ayckbourn and directed by Robert Cacioppo. This wickedly funny play about marriage takes place in three bedrooms. On one endless night, Trevor & Susannah, whose marriage is on the rocks, inflict their miseries on their nearest and dearest, including Trevor’s parents.

Players Circle Theater has announced that comedian RC Smith and jazz musician Danny Sinoff are back by popular demand!

Having seen Victor Legarreta act in a number of shows at Broadway Palm, I was not surprised at anything I saw in The Mousetrap which he directed. Everything and everybody are bigger than life.
