****HIGHLY RECOMMENDED****  Suzan-Lori Parks' play "Topdog/Underdog" has always been a showcase for two supremely talented actors. When it premiered off-Broadway, the 2002 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama starred Don Cheadle and Jeffrey Wright. During the 2022/2023 season, the Broadway revival was graced with two highly-respected and quite well-known actors, both of whom received Tony Award nominations for Lead Actor in a Play. The production itself went on to win the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. Now, Invictus Theatre Company is presenting a powerhouse production, under the brilliant and compassionate direction of Aaron Reese Boseman, that features two of Chicago's very own up-and-coming stars that shine ever so brightly.  4 SPOTLIGHTS

**** Recommended   "Mrs. Doubtfire", a new musical comedy playing at the Nederlander, is a funny, poignant, thoroughly enjoyable theatrical experience.  The story is corny but the outstanding cast embraced it, making it their own.  It’s unusual for the actor who originates a role on Broadway to go on tour, but luckily for all of us, the amazing Rob McClure decided to do just that.  I must admit, I had a hard time imagining "Mrs. Doubtfire" as a musical, so my expectations were low, but this cast made a believer out of me!  4 Spotlights
