Review: Tom Morello's Gritty Rebellious Score Drives REVOLUTION(s) at The Goodman
by James Lindhorst - Oct 20, 2025

Revolution(s) is a well-designed, fast-paced, and adrenaline-fueled production with outstanding music. Fans of Tom Morello will love his frenetic and hard-hitting score. Director Steve Broadnax fills his production with believable performances and riveting vocals from an immensely talented cast. Zayn Ayers Dohrn’s book misses connecting the audience to his character’s motivations. But his narrative does have a definitive message that is unmistakable - do whatever it takes to raise a voice against racism and injustice.
