“Friendshtick”- Jan Slavin and friends
While there are more today than in the past, the shining star is still Davenport's on Milwaukee Avenue in Bucktown, a small, intimate space with great sound and affordable drinks, but of greater importance, a marvelous place to hear some of our top song stylists. [Read More]
“Clutter”
These were wealthy young men, residing in a Fifth Avenue mansion in Harlem ( during a different time, of course) who became collecters of everything and later one is found dead, the other missing. It is assumed that the missing brother, Langley ( a marvelous performance by [Read More]
Happy New Year with Hollis Resnik
Over 90 minutes of sheer chemistry between Ms Resnik and her audience. I know that many of those who attended this special evening were "friends" and performers who have worked with her in area theaters, and of course, many who have seen her perform on Chicago stages, but [Read More]
New Year’s Eve with Hollis Resnik
If you have seen her work on stages throughout Chicago, you know how special a talent she is. If you have not seen her in a setting like this, it is a special evening that will hold a lasting memory for you and your loved one. [Read More]
“Donny & Marie-Christmas in Chicago”
This dynamic duo is as solid as any performers I have seen in concert. In fact, this show is far better than the recent appearance in Indiana where they recreated their Vegas show- this truly topped it! The play and banter with the audience, including an opening night [Read More]
” Pump Boys and Dinettes”
This is a fun little piece about a gas station/dinette located on highway 57 somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna, North Carolina and lets us into the lives of the four men who run the service station and the two sisters who run the Double Cupp Diner next door. This show [Read More]
“The Game Show show…and stuff!”
The intimate Mercury Theater located in the very hip Wrigleyville/Lakeview neighborhood is the ideal spot for a show like this. Everyone is close to the action which will involve many audience members whose names are drawn from a spinning container and then they are brought [Read More]
“The Doyle & Debbie Show”
This dazzling 90 minutes of parody on the Country Western duos is amazingly funny and the original songs truly sound like they could have been performed somewhere along the way. While they are spoofing the performers of this genre, they do so in a loving way so that even [Read More]
“Rodgers & Hart;A Celebration”
talk about the great American Songbook! Two plus hours of solid music, performed by talented people more than make up for semi uncomfortable seats, very little in the way of set, very little in the way of costumes and okay lighting. This is a celebration of the music of [Read More]
“Starting Here, Starting Now”:
One of my favorite spots in Chicago is TheoUbique Cabaret Theatre, a little storefront in Rogers park, where Artistic Director Fred Anzevino brings musicals and revues to Chicago audiences. These have been award winning shows over the years and even the smallest of shows [Read More]
