Spotlight on Reviews

**** Highly Recommended  Drury Lane’s production of On Your Feet! The Story of Emelio and Gloria Estefan is just spectacular! It’s a toe-tapping, dance-in-your seat musical based on the life stories of international superstars Gloria and Emilio Estefan. Unlike the usual jukebox musical, On Your Feet is intelligent, emotional and very well-acted.  I give it 4 BIG Spotlights.

**** Recommended  "Stereophonic" is kind of a difficult play to review. First, it’s a drama with music, not a musical. I think a lot of people didn’t like it, since many of them left at intermission. Maybe they thought it was going to be a jukebox musical. Second, it has four acts, one intermission, and comes in at a whopping 3 hours long (give or take five minutes). Finally, it felt like a documentary, gritty and truthful. I’m recommending "Stereophonic," with a slight caveat – remember, creativity just doesn’t go in a straight line. 3 ½ Spotlights

"The Enormous Crocodile: The Musical" stars at The Studebaker Theater in Chicago.

Theatre at the Center was rocking with the music of Eliminator: The Premier ZZ Top Tribute on January 24th with plenty of fans of their bluesy sound in the audience.
