Reviews
The musical theatre reviews featured here are written by reviewers, not critics. These impressions and opinions are from individuals passionate about musical theatre and represent, in most cases, one observation of one performance. The primary purpose in publishing reviews is to help patrons decide whether a production is a good use of their time and entertainment budget. Our reviewers are also encouraged to creatively shine a light on particularly good work done onstage and backstage, understanding that successful productions happen because of the work of many. Finally, ChicagolandMusicalTheatre's reviewers are asked to walk into a show expecting enjoyable entertainment—because that's the mindset of patrons who buy tickets to professional theatre.
Q Brothers’ brilliant ‘Christmas Carol’ warms hearts and splits sides for the season
What’s clear that not unlike the spirit of Christmas itself, the show is a seamlessly collaborative effort devoted to the joy and spreading of peace on the earth and goodwill to all.
Lyric’s ‘Cendrillon’ is an enchanting and mature ‘Cinderella’ story

Strawdog’s musical ‘Hanukkah Goblins’ celebrates the festival of lights by getting the best of the bogeymen
This clever trickster, seemingly a middle European version of Anansi the Spider or the witty Hebrew cousin of the American Br’er Rabbit, is portrayed with contagious glee by ensemble member Anderson Lawfer.
Flying Elephant’s ‘Book of Merman’ is a triumphant parody with the message of truth to oneself
Schwartz has expertly tweaked the lyrics and melodies of the original tunes just enough to make his new songs feel familiar but, to those who know these Broadway standards, sound as if they’re being played in a slightly different key.
