Although it’s not my favorite sound, I did enjoy Midwest Big Band presents “The Sounds of Sinatra and the Unforgettable Ladies of Song” at Theatre at the Center. My friend Helen, on the other hand, absolutely loved the show.
**** Highly Recommended If MOMIX Alice returns to Chicago in the future, run don’t walk to the box office for tickets! Yes, it’s that good! Think psychedelic Cirque du Soleil meets Alice in Wonderland meets Grace Slick, if you can imagine that. If not, you’ll have to see it yourself! 4 BIG Spotlights
**** Highly Recommended Goodman Theatre’s lyrical production of "Joe Turner’s Come and Gone" is a masterpiece – and a history lesson. In this play, the second in August Wilson’s Century Cycle, set in the 1910s, echoes of the Civil War overlay the ordinary difficulties of everyday life. As in most of Wilson’s Pittsburgh cycle, the characters are dealing with life the best they can – but because it’s Wilson, there’s a bit of mysticism too. Kudos to the cast, the acting is absolutely superb! 4 Spotlights
