The Marriott Theatre has done it again! This north suburban theater in the round (well, square, really) has a long history of producing the first Chicago area version of Broadway musicals newly released for licensing, usually soon after the end of a national tour. And so it is with the light-as-a-feather 'The Drowsy Chaperone,' the 2006 Tony-winning Broadway musical (it won for Best Book and Best Score, among others) that opened last Wednesday evening up in Lincolnshire.....

Now through April 25, 2010, at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire, Illinois, is a 'Fiddler On The Roof' for our time.

As of late, actors, directors and designers are in the process of reimagining this jewel of the American musical theater (arguably the last masterpiece of the Golden Age) for 21st century audiences.....
