The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-Time (Chicago) Tickets

This was an excellent performance of a fantastic adaptation from a book! The expression of events left me with a much better understanding of what autistic individuals experience. I think everyone, even those who, like me, have worked with autistic and mentally disadvantaged people, should see this play.

Disturbing opening and shocking entrance. Subway scene was too loud and distracting. Positive possibilities for everyone.

The storyline is a bit complex, yet still easy to follow. This was my teen son's first live play and he really enjoyed it as well. The set design was my favorite part, it was fairly simple but really delivered a strong message, and allow you to imagine what is like inside the mind of an autistic boy. There is a bit of british humor as well, which I like as well. Would recommend.

A bit slow in spots, but still very worthwhile. A good look into the mind of someone with autism, and the difficulties in parenting such a child. Great acting by the lead and his father. Great staging and choreography.

I saw the show twice in less than a week. First show was a spontaneous decision the morning of. I had to see it again before it left. I'm looking forward to it returning!

loved the concept of the play. It's almost a one man show and the lead actor was very talented

Very interesting, wasn't sure what it was all about but it was good! I would say read the book first.

From the very start they turned everyone into a caricature, so they foreclosed the possibility of any true empathy. Rather than allowing Christopher to be an individual they turned him into an archetype of the autistic and his parents became similar archetypes of the bad parent and the good parent. Where the staging, choreography & integrated design might have served to communicate on a deeper level it often felt confused & never really reached it's full potential to express Christopher's interior world.

Great show. Innovative staging. Really captured the spirit of the book.

This show has all of the spectacle of a musical. The stage and lighting effects are amazing, but more importantly pushes the story foreard. It really puts you inside the mind of a young boy with autism who is trying to cope with adult circumstances. Whether you've read the book or not, it will make you laugh and cry. There are a few moments that seem to stretch out for the sake of showiness, and the stage effects seem superfluous. This contributes to the 2:45 runtime. Still, it has the rare quality that many shows do not: it builds empathy for not just the characters in the show, but for humanity. This show has heart!
