    Rudolph should be a holiday tradition!

    by Anonymous on 11/20/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    The overall production was staged beautifully and the puppets and costumes were beautiful. For those reasons alone would go again! There were a few moments in the show that need to be tightened up but I know the production has just opened. To the average viewer I am sure they were not as noticeable but I still thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Mrs. Claus was great!

    Fabulous Show

    by BellaDellaStellar on 11/20/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    I loved this show. It's great entertainment for young and old alike. All the characters are wonderful. The songs are fabulous. The story line is great. It's just an all round good family show. I particularly loved Rudolph. That boy is going to be a star!

    Excellent theatre...... Not a bad seat there. I got in in the $25 tickets and felt that was much more reasonable than the full price. Makes it easier for families to go. The musical was good and just the right lenght,

    Rudolph was a wonderful experience!

    by Mommylane on 11/19/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    I have a 3 and a 4 year old boy and girl and Rudolph was the perfect show for them! They loved watching it from beginning to end. It kept their attention the whole way through. It follows the cartoon perfectly which was also good so as not to create confusion in their minds. Additionally, the venue at Water Tower (playhouse theater) was perfect for a kid-focused play as it's smaller, thus there was not a bad seat in the house. AND TO TOP IT OFF, the ticket prices were reasonable. Tickets to some plays are so exorbitantly priced that you don't want to risk buying them in case you have to leave due to a young one not having it. We will definitely go back in years to come!

    Its been a long time since anyone produced a theater production as well done as this one. The over all production,music, sets, lighting, cast, everything, was absolutely first rate! The children in the audience were positively charmed. The theme was very well portrayed and executed by the very professional cast, children and adults. A very uplifting holiday and everyday message to those of us who are somehow "different" from all of those who think they are not. AND visa versa!!!! A must see primer on how everyone should interact and respect each others' differences. While this was a "children's" production, everyone could learn from the themes message of tolerance for each other.

    Fun for the kids. Good Christmas activity.

    by Iowa222222222222222222222 on 11/19/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    The only thing I was very upset with is that ticket master added $9:00 per ticket. There should be a way to buy directly from your theater other than walking up to the ticket booth. Most people can not do that. That fee along with $45:00 for parking makes this prohibitive for families.

    I took a group of nine people, three adults and 6 girls ranging from 12 years old to 18 years old and everyone thought the play was wonderful.

    Rudolph is great for all ages!

    by JodyQ on 11/19/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    We took our 2 1/2 year old grandson & wasn't sure if he would make it through the entire play or not! He was mesmerized by it!!! He loved it!!! Did not have to correct his behavior one time because Rudolph captivated his undivided attention!

    A Sweet Holiday Treat!

    by GQGUY on 11/19/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    We were so happy to get tickets to this wonderful show! It was so much fun to see one of our favorite Christmas TV traditions amazingly brought to life on stage. Clever use of puppetry and live actors made for a perfect production. Hope this travels because we would love to see it again! This venue was perfect, not a bad seat in the house, even from the back row! A Great funfilled show for young and old alike! Don't miss this show!

    Rudolph was great.

    by karg on 11/18/13Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    It was a great musical for the whole family. We live in Ohio and it did not work out for us to bring our 2 youngest grandchildren, but they would have really enjoyed it. Everyone did a great job and the music was wonderful. Thank you for a great evening of fun entertainment.
