Howling Funny Adaptation
by OutOfTowner on 5/10/24Cadillac Palace - ChicagoAs a huge fan of the movie, I wasn’t so precious about it that I couldn’t entertain the thought of it becoming a musical. Thankfully, this team has created a riotously funny musical comedy that delivers (and then some) the goods. I liked it so much, in fact, that I went to see it again during my short stay in the city. The leads are terrific and the ensemble is gorgeous. As this is an out of town tryout, expect some material to be in flux and not everything to be razor sharp - but as someone who sees a ton of pre-Broadway shows (many in Chicago) this is by far one of the all-time strongest ones I’ve seen taking into account the quality and laughs. Don’t miss this one.
