Andrew Hauptman strikes deals to sell control of Fire to Joe Mansueto and move team to downtown Chicago

**** Highly Recommended **** I didn’t know too much about “The Band’s Visit” before it came to Chicago, other than it had won 10 Tony Awards in 2018, including Best Musical.  Just knowing that, I had pretty high expectations, and I’m happy to say that “The Band’s Visit” was even better than I expected.  It’s not a huge Broadway musical, but it’s funny and poignant and heart-warming and I really enjoyed it.  4 Spotlights

Court Theatre Announces Cast and Creatives for "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles | Translated by Nicholas Rudall | Directed by Charles Newell |  November 7 – December 8, 2019 

**** Recommended **** What do you think when you hear a title like “Women of 4G”?  Sounds like the title to a bodice ripper or a soap opera, right?  Wrong!  4G is not an apartment/suite/office number.  In fact, 4G is a space ship and “Women of 4G” is a space opera/whodunnit.  Vaguely reminiscent of an episode from “Flash Gordon”, very dystopian, and the situation is dire.  The captain’s been murdered so what should they do – complete the mission, or turn back and fail.  4 Spotlights
