Review: SHUCKED National Tour Presented by Broadway In Chicago
by Rachel Weinberg - January 09, 2025
SHUCKED is a corny musical...in the best way possible. Book writer Robert Horn and composer team Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally’s lyrics are chock-full (or should I say husk-full?) of puns, double entendres, and cringey punchlines. I was grinning ear-to-ear (of corn). SHUCKED is joyful, creative, a...

Review: FALSETTOS presented by Court Theatre and TimeLine Theatre Company
by Rachel Weinberg - November 25, 2024
FALSETTOS, originally written as two-one act musicals set in 1979 and 1981, respectively, feels simultaneously dated and prescient.
