great cast, great script and another reminder that secrets are destructive to those who keep them and those who are kept in the dark...

A multi sensory sensation!! Wonderful effects and actors! So much fun!! A mystifying and enchanting theater production! For all ages!! Great energy! Overall a truly awesome experience!!

Great time with a variety of comedic styles! Get there early if you want to have a dedicated table next to you for placing drinks etc. Be warned some comedians are extremely vulgar so just keep that in mind before bringing mixed company. Also there's a 2 drink minimum. One thing that would enhance the experience would be a 5 minute intermission before the last act to allow you to comfortably close out tabs rather than have servers distracting you from the show. This is particularly an issue with relatively larger groups (4+ people) on a single tab. Definitely check it out!

we thoroughly enjoyed the production, and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a light evening of memorable music

If you took out the "f" bombs and other curse words this play would last 40 minutes, not 1 hours and 40 minutes. With that said it was very entertaining...lots of laugh out loud moments and some somber statements about we flawed humans. The cousin Julio stole the show in my opinion, but it was difficult to believe that he and Jackie were the same age...a little MIss Clairol for Julio's hair is in order. Do NOT go see this show if you are offended by language and you didn't figure out from the title that it could be a bit "off color". Otherwise, a really good production. My compliments to the set designer. It's been a long time since I have seen such great moving stage components. It reminded me of the old Goodman when the first round of applause came as the curtain rose and the stage setting was revealed. I don't recall seeing a play at Steppenwolf where the entire upper areas were so exposed....reminded me of when they first opened and there was such pride in the construction of the theater that allowed so many production options....this showed how massive it is. Great for actors and audiences.

My mother, my 16 year old daughter and I went to Hellcab together. Although we all enjoyed it, my daughter and I loved it! I understand the characters are based on real cab passengers of the writer, or other cabbies, and that fact made the show especially compelling. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed these gritty characters with their often foul language, but my mother (in her 70's) found them a bit too rough for her liking.

You must see this. Lookingglass does the most unique productions and the acting never disappoints. I was concerned their shows would go mainstream due to their location (the heart of tourism) to appeal to a wider audience, but they remain unique.

Funny opening scenes glide deftly into the more biting confrontations. Just when you start to get tired of the mother's insensitivity and the daughter's whining, the "big reveal" saves the day. Do wish the sound was better in the theater. I missed several exchanges and my older mother had trouble hearing all the way through.

Waaaaay to long. Hour and a half felt like a year. Beautifully executed. Great pacing, lots of visual and I assume at least an accurate adaptation of the book. Actors served multiple roles deftly and with spirit. But it felt like a children's book adapted for adults, who are used to sitting for long performances. Took to long to get to the resolution. Otherwise, again, well done.

Too long, the play itself is absolutely not interesting, one good thing to say is that actors did a great job playing their characters. Otherwise, it was a waste of my time. I brought two of my friends along who were very disappointed as well.

Beautiful Thing was indeed a beautiful thing. Really enjoyed. Would definitely recommend.

It is not easy to make the marvelous Rogers and Hammerstein music and lyrics fresh when one has heard them countless times in the movies, on stage, etc. This revue is delightful, clever and extremely well sung. Kudoos to all the performers especially the tall blond woman (sorry I did not read the program notes so do not know her name) who has an amazing voice.

Great adaptation of Pygmalion. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

I love theater and can always find something I like about a play. This one had it's moments where scenes came together, but in general it paused too often, while the audience was made to sit a wait for something to happen. Only the best of the best actors can sit on stage and do nothing and make you love them. These guys were good but not wonderful.

Great cast, great set, but the play has lost its relevance.

Not a comedy, which is what I thought from the write up, but a very interesting drama and it has a strange twist you will not see coming. Enjoyed the play, worth seeing. Wonder about how some people come up with such stories. Guess that's why their playwriters. GO.

Garsin Kanin's play Born Yesterday remains current because Washington politics never changes. Big money trying to buy government favors is an underlying theme of this well known play made into an even more popular film starring Judy Holliday, William Holden, and Broderick Crawford. The cast may not have the star quality of the movie cast but they do an outstanding job in fleshing out their characters. The set is outstanding perfectly recreating an expensive hotel suite with views of the White House. The actor who portrays a former Attorney General, now representing the interests of a steel magnet, brings a sympathetic quality to a man knowing he is abusing the system he once represented. It is no wonder that he previously won a Jefferson Award. I highly recommend this play.

The play was very true to the book. The actors were great.

all the cast was very professional. story line nice and tight. this theatre is top rate. i don't think there is a bad seat in the house. the underwear was interesting, perhaps an ethnic thing.

Funny, funny, funny! Typical, topical Second City stuff. Nice, new UP theater. The ONLY criticism is some of it was hard to hear, so it probably even better then I thought. Be forwarned ... the show runs about 90 minutes as stated, but they improvise for another 30 (without giving you the opportunity to leave) so pay your parking meter accordingly.
