Chicagoland’s longest running musical theatre continues its 50th Anniversary Season celebration with the epic production of Titanic The Musical, directed and choreographed by Connor Gallagher - a Marriott Theatre debut!

I missed opening night but after I saw the show mid-run, I wanted to write this review and encourage all to see this lively production of “Guys and Dolls”. The storyline is simple, corny and fun. It’s the classic opposites attract spin with a couple of crises thrown in to get to a happy entertaining finish.

****HIGHLY RECOMMENDED  While there is no denying that Puccini's "La Boheme" is one of -- if not the -- world's most beloved and popular operas, Lyric Opera of Chicago took a bit of an artistic gamble when they announced that they would be presenting "La Boheme" during their 2024/2025 season for an astounding ten performances. Just to give you some idea of how gargantuan that number of performances is, most individual operas presented by Lyric Opera each season are scheduled for no more than the standard five performances (sometimes that number can go as high as six if it is a specialized work or one that features a highly-coveted new rising star or one who is already established as a superstar in the international opera world). The risk on Lyric's part has paid off quite handsomely with this gorgeous production which feels as fresh and vital as it must have felt immediately upon its premiere in 1896. 4 BIG SPOTLIGHTS
