About

THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME, winner of five 2015 Tony Awards® including BEST PLAY, is coming to Chicago!

Hailed as “One of the most fully immersive works ever to wallop Broadway” by The New York Times, this "dazzling" (Associated Press) adaptation is the Tony Award®-winning new play by Simon Stephens, adapted from Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel and directed by Tony winner Marianne Elliott.

Fifteen-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain; he is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbor’s dog, he sets out to identify the true culprit, which leads to an earth-shattering discovery and a journey that will change his life forever.

    The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-Time

    by Buzed on 12/25/16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    Well played parts for a challenging script. Very creatively staged. Background sound was occasionally painfully loud.

    Curious Incident was unique

    by Debbidoo1 on 12/25/16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    Amazing staging and a different perspective make this play a must see. The star of the show gave us a glimpse of life inside the mind of a young man who is a math savant but who has serious a serious social disorder. So glad that we went! Very different and thought provoking.

    Disturbing in a brilliant way

    by tinygreeneyes on 12/24/16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    All I could think when I walked into the theater with the disturbing opening set visible on stage is that "I hope there's a purpose for this". There was. This is a fascinating glimpse into the world of young Christopher with all of his special abilities and fears..

    I have seen worse

    by dumbnicknames on 12/23/16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    The lead actor did a great job with a strange play. Sitting around me, 4 people left at the intermission. I could not recomment this to others.

    Exceptionally interesting

    by suieeeeeeeeeeee on 12/23/16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    okay

    by atarlite on 12/22/16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    I saw the New York production in which Alex Sharp played the lead. It blew us away. The Chicago version is fine but neither the set nor the lead is as good and it effects the outcome. My 20 yo son gave it a C minus and my friend fell asleep and we were in the first row. It is a brilliant play but execution lacking. If you are not in the first few rows it will effect your enjoyment. There were many young children. Be aware there a moderate amount of cursing.

    What a phenomenal show! I wasn't sure I was going to make it because of the weather (I live 3 hours away), but was so glad I did! The production was so different than any show I've seen. I can't wait to see it again!

    Excellent Performance really intersting subject

    by mitzvahphoto on 12/21/16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    I had read this book many years ago. I had no idea how this would work out in the theater. It was very helpful to have read the book ahead of time. There were some scenes that had very loud noise and lights. This really enhanced how a person with this disability sees the world. The acting was dead on to match the characters. For a non-musical play this was excellent.

    Very Unique

    by tpeissig on 12/20/16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    This show was a very unique performance, different from anything else I have ever seen. The story basically is told from inside the mind of a intelligent savant who has major troubles coping in the real world. We therefore see the world through his eyes and through his feelings. Very moving.

    Cool Set, Long Show

    by DG731 on 12/20/16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    "The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-Time" is a great show! I will admit that it is long and does drag during the majority of act 1. However, the way in which the stage and technology are used throughout the show makes the experience that much more special.

    Awesome show!

    by Ryoo on 12/20/16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    There are few times in life, when art can make you change the way you think. This is one of them. Watching this show from the perspective of an autistic boy and his family, gave me more compassion, empathy, and understanding for those that live on the austistic spectrum. Highly recommend this show.

    A must see

    by FortElk on 12/19/16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    This was a amazingly creative interpretation of the book, which was followed very closely. Adam Langdon's performance was brilliantly energetic.

    Not worth the price of the ticket

    by BaboM on 12/17/16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    The newspaper article about this play made it seem interesting, even though it deals to some extent with math and I'm no genius at math. I took a chance and went to see it. Big mistake. I found myself daydreaming at times out of sheer boredom. There were some clever effects, but nothing worth making the play worthwhile for me. I should have left at intermission. Instead, I decided to stay and then regretted it. A waste of time for me.
