**** Highly Recommended The Copley Theatre’s production of "Peter and the Starcatcher", a tongue-in-cheek prequel to Peter Pan, is totally demented!  Well, maybe I meant insane, or twisted, or hysterical.  I might even call it a melo-dramedy!  The entire cast totally embraced the essential zaniness of the play, and thanks to some very clever staging with ladders and planks, the campiness factor has gone off the charts.  Peter and the Star Catcher is awesome! 4 BIG Spotlights

**** Highly Recommended  Chicago Shakespeare Theatre has scored a hit with the U.S. premiere of "The Lord of the Rings: A Musical Tale" which is absolutely fabulous!  The musical as a whole is amazing, but if you break it down, each and every element – casting, staging, costumes, scenery, lighting, special effects, choreography, music – is exactly right. It's also interactive - you'll see characters running through the audience, climbing up and down the stairs, even lowering from the upper gallery on a rope! Audience members arriving in costume are loving it!  This is a MUST SEE!!! 4 BIG Spotlights
