Review: HELL'S KITCHEN National Tour Presented by Broadway In Chicago


by Rachel Weinberg - November 13, 2025

HELL’S KITCHEN, the Alicia Keys jukebox musical now making its Chicago premiere as part of the first national tour, has a messy storyline wrapped in slick packaging. While the show is loosely based on Keys’s childhood in Manhattan, the storytelling is generic, and the songs are often awkwardly incor...

Review: Kokandy's JEKYLL & HYDE at the Chopin Theatre is not to be missed


by Misha Davenport - October 27, 2025

Review: THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW at BrightSide Theatre


by Tina St. Angelo - October 25, 2025

It’s just a jump to the left… famous words that the audience is waiting for.  The first show at BrightSide Theatre for its 14th season dedicated to For the Fun of It is Richard O’Brien’s campy, cult classic The Rocky Horror Show....

Review: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY at Chicago Shakespeare Theater


by Rachel Weinberg - October 17, 2025

This new PARANORMAL ACTIVITY play (based on Paramount Pictures’ PARANORMAL ACTIVITY horror films) has terrific stage effects and absolutely creeped me out. Based on the merits of the script alone, there’s not much to recommend in the material. But it leaves plenty of room for creepy effects and terr...

Review: HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF STARS at TimeLine Theatre Company


by Rachel Weinberg - October 16, 2025

HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF STARS comes at an eerily relevant time. While I didn’t think all elements of the material worked, this play is a good reminder that navigating the immigrant experience without making any mistakes is an impossible feat....

Review: REVOLUTION(S) at Goodman Theatre


by Rachel Weinberg - October 16, 2025

REVOLUTION(S) is truly unlike any other show I’ve seen at the Goodman. While I think the material still has some rough edges, that’s fitting of the subject matter. The themes introduced here aren’t neat and tidy, so the material shouldn’t be, either. This musical has a pulsing, urgent energy that is...

Review: ROME SWEET ROME at Chicago Shakespeare Theater


by Rachel Weinberg - September 29, 2025

ROME SWEET ROME, the latest production from the Q Brothers Collective at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, has a cool concept: JULIUS CAESAR, but make it hip hop. Like the group’s previous endeavors, the show takes a classic Shakespeare play and updates it with modern sensibilities. The resulting show, t...

Review: Ava: The Secret Conversations

Review: GREASE at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre


by Tina St. Angelo - September 22, 2025

Yes this cast of Grease at the Metropolis Performing Arts Center do go together. The well known musical about life at Rydell High is a joyous, foot stamping, sing along quietly, fun production. The story follows new student Sandy Dumbrowski (Morgan Wolfe in her Metropolis debut) and Danny Zuko (Eric...
