Chicago: A Musical Vaudeville

Well -- super proud mom here!!  My son, Justin, is the stage manager for this play at his high school.  While most of the plays I've seen in my life have been dinner theater (thanks Dad) - I have also been to some here in Ashland at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.  I think this is perhaps the most well done production I've ever seen... and that's not just mom talk.

With over 40 actors and over 1000 costume pieces... 1 main stage holding the orchestra and 3 floating mini-stages... it is one heck of a production to put together and orchestrate -- let alone one for a high school theater group to do.  Even with a more "PG" rated script than the one we are all used to for Chicago - it doesn't loose anything in the editing.

I've seen this play twice and still can't stop talking about it... It is absolutely amazing!  This is the final weekend so if your local and haven't done so already... go see this!  It is well worth the 2.5 hours of your time...
