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 DANCE OF DEATH at Steppenwolf Theatre Company
by Rachel Weinberg - February 19, 2026
When I think of Steppenwolf, I often think of family members crying, screaming at one another, or some combination of the two.

Review: STEREOPHONIC National Tour Presented by Broadway In Chicago
by Rachel Weinberg - January 29, 2026
David Adjmi’s STEREOPHONIC pulls back the curtain on making a rock album — with all of the minute details, inane band member conversations, and painstaking, spirited artistic conversations that come with it. It centers on an unnamed Fleetwood Mac-esque band in the late 1970s as they record (and ...
