Review - Jersey Boys

So after 2 long years of an open run the show Jersey Boys was coming to a close. I figured if I wanted to see it now would be the time. Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons rise to fame. It starts back from the very creation of the group leading all the way up to what is the current state of the four original members of the group.

Review - Night of the Living Dead: The Musical

Night of the Living Dead: The Musical. Now there’s something you don’t hear everyday. This show is the brainchild of Jack Schultz who is the writer of the script and lyrics with music by Kathleen Dooley. It is based on the George A. Romero’s classic zombie horror film 'Night of the Living Dead'.

Review - Animal Crackers

Hooray for Captain Spaulding, the African Explorer…………

You know I never thought about hearing those lyrics in a live play. It just goes to show you, you never know what to expect. And the same can be said for the live production of Animal Crackers.

Before I get into this review I have a little story that I would like to pass on to you. It is important to the review as it will tell you how I was feeling before I saw it. I ask you to be patient and bear with me.

Review - Schoolhouse Rock Live! (Originally posted October 16, 2009)

On the 3rd of October I had a chance to go see a show that was a lot of fun. That show was Schoolhouse Rock Live! It was a small cabaret held on the second floor of Hamburger Mary's Chicago. See my review here for that restaurant. The second floor is called Mary's Attic and is a small show space with seating for about 50 people or so. The seating is made up of a couple of arm chairs, a sofa, bar stools and basically dinning room chairs. It's very informal and while the chairs (with the exception of the arm chairs and sofa) are not particularly comfortable was kind of fun to sit around. Almost felt like you were sitting in someones rec room watching their kids put on a show. Only with a really good show and really talented kids. There is also a bar present where you can get drinks and you can even have food brought up from the restaurant downstairs.
