**** Highly Recommended **** No matter how many times I’ve seen "The Sound of Music", it doesn’t get old.  Marriott Theater’s new production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic is one of the best.  There are seven reasons I say this – the seven Von Trapp children – who are amazing!  The rest of the cast is pretty darn good too!  All in all, I think everyone (except a couple of curmudgeons I know) will love this show.  4 BIG Spotlights      

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED  A sensation on Broadway before it was one of the first shows to close due to COVID, Moulin Rouge resumed performances last fall and shortly thereafter won the Tony Award. Chicago theatergoers are lucky to be the first to see the show outside of New York, as the National Tour opened to reviewers at the James M. Nederlander Theatre on April 21.  This touring production of the musical set in the famed Paris nightclub is every bit the quality of the Broadway company, which this reviewer was fortunate to see in 2019. It is, to quote the lyrics of one of its songs, “spectacular, spectacular.”

Highly Recommended  Those looking for a new show in the style of the old classic musical comedies will find a winner in "The Prom." It’s the story of a group of once-successful Broadway performers who try to build their reputations by getting involved in the efforts of a girl from a small Indiana town to attend her high school prom with her girlfriend. Certainly most of the audience members who would attend this show are likely to be on the side of this young girl, "The Prom" gently pokes fun at woke culture as well – and also at the celebrities who embrace social causes.
