The newest production at the Copley Theatre in Aurora is The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. It’s the story of “12” year olds competing in a spelling bee.

Review: LA BOHEME at Lyric Opera Of Chicago


by Tina St. Angelo Wetzel - March 16, 2025

What did our critic think of LA BOHEME at Lyric Opera Of Chicago? Giacomo Puccini’s heartbreaking La Boheme is playing for 10 performances at the Lyric. Bring a handkerchief. Director Melanie Bacaling, in her Lyric directorial debut, has given this production an emotional feel which is the heart of ...

Review: GUYS AND DOLLS at Music Theater Works


by Tina St. Angelo Wetzel - March 09, 2025

Guys and Dolls is a show to be seen and enjoyed. Vibrant, energetic and just fun. Sometimes an old fashioned Broadway show is needed. Guys and Dolls is that show....

Review: CLUE: LIVE ON STAGE! Presented By Broadway In Chicago


by Zac Thriffiley - February 24, 2025

While the play may be meager fare compared to other recent professional offerings, CLUE is undeniably a well-polished evening of hijinks and hilarity—if audiences know what they’re getting themselves into....

Review: WAITRESS at Paramount Theatre Aurora, IL


by Tina St. Angelo Wetzel - February 23, 2025

The current production at the Paramount Theatre is the musical Waitress based upon the motion picture. When it opened, it was the first all-female production team on Broadway.

Review: FOOL FOR LOVE at Steppenwolf Theatre Company


by Rachel Weinberg - February 12, 2025

FOOL FOR LOVE has peak Steppenwolf energy. I’ve long associated Steppenwolf Theatre Company with gritty, messy, feral family and relationship dramas — Sam Shepard’s one-act fits the bill. It’s also only 65 minutes — that run-time is short, but it’s a logical choice in the TikTok era when attention s...

Review: CIRCUS QUIXOTE at Lookingglass Theatre
