Dave Malloy's a cappella musical OCTET transfers from Raven Theatre to Goodman Theatre's Owen Theatre, featuring the original Chicago cast and directed by Keira Fromm.
Kokandy Productions will present SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE at Chicago's Chopin Downstairs Studio, marking the first Chicago storefront production of the Sondheim-Lapine musical in over 15 years.
Not only does OCTET work on every level musically and creatively, but it also already stands as a strong contender for best musical of the summer. The production runs through June 7.
Though it’s a musical about a support group for internet addicts, Dave Molloy’s Octet is delightfully analog. And that’s precisely the point — Molloy’s musical invites audiences to look away from their screens and lean into this intimate, inventive, and fully a cappella show. Molloy (perhaps best known for Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812) has written the kind of show that gives me hope for the future of new musicals. Octet is timely, creative, often funny — and truly, wholly original. And based on the recent news about the forthcoming movie musical directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, it has commercial legs.
