Review: CHICAGO at Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis
by Jared Fessler - January 28, 2026
There’s a reason CHICAGO keeps coming back to Broadway—and to Minneapolis. Seeing it at the Orpheum Theatre this past week reminded everyone why this show has stayed at the top for decades: it’s sharp, funny, sexy, and endlessly entertaining. From the moment the lights dimmed, you could feel the excitement in the room.

Review: OF THE ORCHARD at 7th St Entry
by Jared Fessler - January 23, 2026
It was freezing on January 22. Not “kind of cold,” but the kind of Minneapolis cold that makes you rethink your plans. Still, people showed up. And once everyone packed into 7th Entry—that small room tucked under First Avenue—it didn’t take long for the cold to fade into the background.

Review: SHUCKED at Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis
by Jared Fessler - January 07, 2026
At first glance, Shucked doesn’t seem like a show that should work. A Broadway musical about corn, packed with puns and country music, sounds like it might wear thin fast. But during its stop at the Orpheum Theatre, this touring production proves that beneath the dad jokes and folksy charm is a surprisingly smart and generous piece of musical theatre.
