    High energy & lots of fun

    by Katie on 2/15/22CIBC Theatre - Chicago

    Cast was great and everything was high energy and fun, easy to forget where you were for a few hours. Audience was packed and all seemed to enjoy. Seats were small and uncomfortable, but nothing new for theaters, you’d get that for any show.

    Just plain fun

    by Farwalker on 2/12/22CIBC Theatre - Chicago

    I've watched Hairspray at a small theatre and it was OK but it is made for the big theatre. The sets really added to the great voices. The direction was great. When someone invited another player to dance it was polite and respectful which made the whole play more respectful. In the song about i know where I've come from the white actors didn't sing. It wasn't their song! They played up the campy and sexual innuendo without going too far. We went to the Italian Village for dinner, $90.00 for 2 but they didnt rush us and i talked to my daughter for about an hour.

    Sooooo much fun!

    by Babs on 2/12/22CIBC Theatre - Chicago

    Hairspray was energy from start to finish! I smiled all the way through the show. I loved how many performers played multiple parts, yet gave personality to each one. My first show in 2022, what a great start!!!

    Made you wanna dance

    by Sante on 2/12/22CIBC Theatre - Chicago

    Everything about this performance was outstanding. The performers belonged on Broadway. The singing and dancing made me want to get on the stage and join them, except I can’t do either. The spirit of the actors was contagious. The only complaint I had was the man aka The Incredible Hulk, who sat in front of me.

    Funny and Energetic! Best show I have ever attended.

    by mgg on 2/9/22CIBC Theatre - Chicago

    This was a LOL funny show! That also had you wanting to dance in the aisle's. There was a lot of head bouncing going on and in the end many were dancing in the aisle's. My friend sitting next to me said she had a grin on her face from ear to ear during the whole performance ( couldn't see it because of here mask) and she was laughing out load at the same times I was. Great performances, great music, and great orchestra.

    WOW

    by JS on 2/9/22CIBC Theatre - Chicago

    Niki Metcalf is adorable as Tracy with a booming voice to match. The entire cast brought a dynamic energy to the show, and it’s a cast that you will be in awe of.

    Phenomenal

    by Glebyz on 2/8/22CIBC Theatre - Chicago

    Absolutely amazing show. We both came without knowing this story about this show and we absolutely loved. Singers were doing such a wonderful job and the play was just awesome. While they are still here - you must go for the show. It is so much worth it. You will love it
