Favorite Stories

  • Review: Six U.S. Premiere at Chicago Shakespeare Theater (2019) - By my estimation, I've now seen Six 6 (hah!) times and reviewed it 3x. This original and fun musical captured my heart from the start. I'll always bow down to the Queendom. Seeing this kind of new, original musical theater is what makes me excited and delighted to be a theater critic.
  • Review: ICEBOY! at Goodman Theatre (2026) - Such a fun treat to review the world premiere of this genuinely hilarious musical comedy at Goodman Theatre.
  • Review: RENT at Porchlight Music Theatre (2023) - Rent was one of my "gateway" musicals, and I love supporting the local musicals produced at Porchlight. Experiencing Rent at Porchlight? A no brainer!
  • Interview with Peloton London Cycling Instructor Sam Yo (2022) - An absolute honor and joy to bring together my two favorite hobbies — musical theater and Peloton cycling — with my favorite Peloton instructor. Sam Yo is a true treasure and one of the kindest people I've ever met.
  • Review: KING JAMES at Steppenwolf Theatre Company (2022) - Steppenwolf is one of my favorite Chicago theaters; the work is consistently excellent, the ensemble is killer, and I appreciate their commitment to producing a mix of cutting edge new works and hard-hitting revivals. King James was one of my favorites from the past few years — a play about a bromance when 2 Cleveland residents bond over their love of basketball.
