CHICAGO CHILDREN’S THEATRE ANNOUNCES 2022-23 SEASON: MANUAL CINEMA’S LEONARDO!, THE BEATRIX POTTER HOLIDAY TEA PARTY, AND THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR SHOW

**** Recommended **** Porchlight Music Theatre’s production of "Spring Awakening" is musical adaptation of an 1891 play by Frank Wedekind, a frequently banned drama about a sexually oppressed community in Germany.  Steven Sater (book and lyrics) and Duncan Sheik (music) have turned it into an alternative rock, coming-of-age musical.   No matter the century, teen angst is teen angst, after all. Porchlight's production, led by 18-year-old Maya Lou Hlava, is an ensemble piece, and the blend of voices is superb! 4 Spotllights

**** Highly Recommended **** As I’ve come to expect, the Joffrey Ballet’s Spring Program, Serenade and Of Mice and Men was an extraordinarily perfect blend of classic and contemporary ballet.  In fact, it’s not just an illustration of the company’s versatility, it’s a demonstration of all that makes the Joffrey such a leader in contemporary ballet.  The Joffrey’s incredibly talented dancers execute the most complicated choreography with flawless technique.  4 BIG Spotlights
