    Rudolph was amazing

    by Pilot4 on 12/24/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    This was an awesome rendition of the classic Rudolph cartoon we all watched as kids. My wife, 4 yr and 9 yr kids were mesmerized, as was I. This show was better than the Grinch, which we saw in NY on Broadway, a few yrs ago. Go see it if you can.

    A production done very well!

    by sentimentalmom on 12/23/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    Loved everything about this little play/musical. The actors were GREAT, costumes GREAT...super cute, creatively put together, a really lovely production. Worth every penny, and I paid full price! Smaller theatre, so I would say seats anywhere in the theatre would be just fine!

    Rudolf = the island of a misfit manager

    by jinnyg on 12/20/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    The show was very nice. The actors & actresses were very good, the costumes were creative and fun. It was a short show and followed the movie. However, I was insulted, humilated and made to feel 10 years old by the female manager when we saw this play 12/13/13. I have tried to send email to her boss, but have not even received a reply.

    Very enjoyable

    by EddieP74 on 12/19/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    It was just like the animated show we have all loved for years. Theater was very noisy due to all the children but that is to be expected . Overall it was very cool.

    This was a very enjoyable performance. It is fast paced so small children can easily sit through it. The costumes and singing are great. Highly recommend.

    Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Chicago)

    by KatnDan30 on 12/17/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    Cute and kept to the original storyline. Waiting area was nice with kind elves. It was more on the level of a high school production. Actors had a hard time keeping the Abominable snowmans arms in place, too many on stage 'helpers', dancers were not together. They used a girl to play Hermie so my 4 year old kept asking "why is Hernie a girl"? After paying $250 for my family to go, the ushers kept letting in people who were late and would stand in front of us and others - very distracting. Plus side - The Snowman narrater and the head elf at the elfs toy making place. These two were the best in the show! After paying that kind of money for a high school level show, we were then asked to donate to something as we left. Really?

    This would be a great play for people under the age of 8. Any older would not enjoy. I am a child at heart and love Rudolph but I left after 20 min.

    Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

    by HammerF15 on 12/15/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    This is a delightful show, especially if you have young children...all of them in the audience were captivated by the performance. It is a very faithful rendering to the children's show of the same name which is on video.

    Terrific show

    by MominChi on 12/12/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    My kids (ages 5 and 8) absolutely loved this and the adults were captivated, too. Captures all the magic of the show but brings it to life in new and fun ways. Really well-done production with lots of clever surprises and very well performed. Definitely take your kids -- was a highlight of the holiday season for us. Highly recommend.
