Review: THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO at Goodman Theatre


by Rachel Weinberg - March 03, 2026

THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO is a lopsided stage adaptation of Junot Díaz’s 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. While the first act is tight and focuses squarely on the budding relationship between ultra-nerd Oscar Wao and his freshman year college roommate Yunior, the second act incorpora...

Review: JOFFREY BALLET AMERICAN ICONS at Lyric Opera Of Chicago


by Tina St. Angelo - February 23, 2026

The Joffrey Ballet is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. The current offering is called Icons. What a gift to the audience. I don’t know if Robert Joffrey had any idea what his company has become. Icons recreate 4 different ballets from different decades over the 20th Century....

Review: THE OUTSIDERS First National Tour Presented by Broadway in Chicago


by Rachel Weinberg - February 13, 2026

THE OUTSIDERS presents an original and vibrant stage adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s classic 1967 novel about the conflict between Tulsa teen gangs the Greasers and the Socs (short for socialites). The musical — and particularly director Danya Taymor’s inventive and visually dynamic staging — pu...
