**** Highly Recommended I know it’s early but get yourself in the holiday mood with Marriott Theatre’s classy production of "Irving Berlin’s White Christmas." I guarantee you’ll be humming along with Irving Berlin’s wonderful melodies. You might even shed a nostalgic tear or two when the entire cast sings the title song. What can I say – I love "Irving Berlin’s White Christmas!" 4 BIG Spotlights
*** Recommended Steppenwolf’s production of Ngozi Anyanwu’s play, "Leroy and Lucy," left me adrift. Since it’s billed as a play with music, I thought I’d hear way more Delta Blues than I did. I thought I knew where it was going – the ‘sell your soul to the devil’ trope – but then it took a strange turn and I wasn’t sure what to think. I liked the staging but I couldn’t bring myself to care about the characters. 2 ½ Spotlights
**** Highly Recommended There’s new revue at The Second City e.t.c., "Best Kept Secret: Tell Everyone" and it’s downright hilarious. Everywhere I looked, people were laughing. This cast brought the audience into the show from the first, and people loved it. In fact, a good sport from the audience drew as many laughs as any cast member! If laughter is contagious, we all caught the bug! 4 Spotlights
