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.

Drury Lane’s ‘An American in Paris’ is an eminently graceful swan song to “new musicals” of the Gershwins
Assuming the worst — not even a single Gershwin mashup, remix, or reinvention — we at least have An American in Paris as an eminently graceful swan song that does something new with this old and vital music in its own way.
