**** Highly Recommended **** Let me see, what can I say about the Goodman Theatre’s new production "Good Night, Oscar" that someone else hasn’t already said.  Hmm, I’ll say it anyway.  "Good Night, Oscar" is ready for Broadway!  No kidding!  This was one of the most interested, most engrossing, most entertaining plays I’ve seen in a very long time.  In my opinion, Sean Hayes just boosted his acting creds from TV star to mega-star!  You can’t miss with this one!  4 BIG Spotlights

****HIGHLY RECOMMENDED**** Lyric Opera of Chicago's bold initiative to present one contemporary, English-language opera on their mainstage each season continues with their latest offering, which closes the 2021/2022 season. "Fire Shut Up in My Bones" is particularly special because it is a collaboration of numerous extremely talented artists and performers whose voices rarely are heard in the major opera houses throughout the world and whose story focuses exclusively on that of a traditionally marginalized community. Congratulations are in order to all of the staff at Lyric for following through on their daring commitment in bringing this essential work to Chicago, which is a co-production of Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Metropolitan Opera and Los Angeles Opera.
