About
A SOLDIER'S PLAY, the 1982 Pulitzer Prize-winning thriller by Charles Fuller, has rocketed back into the spotlight, thanks to this 2020 Tony Award®-winning Best Revival from Roundabout Theatre Company. "This is a play that deserves to be staged regularly all over America--though it's hard to imagine that it will ever be done better than this. It keeps you guessing all the way to the final curtain" (The Wall Street Journal).
In 1944, on a Louisiana Army base, two shots ring out. A Black sergeant is murdered. And a series of interrogations triggers a gripping barrage of questions about sacrifice, service, and identity in America. Broadway's Norm Lewis leads a powerhouse cast in the show Variety calls "a knock-your-socks-off-drama," directed by Tony winner Kenny Leon.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Great play - Location not so much..
by BrendaT on 4/18/23CIBC Theatre - ChicagoThe play was fantastic and the cast was extremely talented and into their roles. The storyline captured the audience and had everyone engaged from beginning to end. The only downside to this evening was the location at CIBC theatre. Sorry but Chicago has gotten scary. The play broke at 10:30 PM and mayhem was going on all over the loop. The theatre staff kept all of us from leaving and did a very good job informing us what was going on outside. But after we left the theatre, couldn't exit the area fast enough. Unfortunately, this overshadowed our enjoyment of the performance.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Great performance, bad seating
by Mr. C on 4/18/23CIBC Theatre - ChicagoOverall my experience was good. I enjoyed the production as a birthday gift from my wife. However the seats were poorly designed. Meaning each row was not elevated enough for the row behind to fully see the stage. As a result, if you were not in the first row, everyone in the rows behind you were positioning their head to find the perfect opening to view the play.
