    Smokey Joe's Cafe good music

    by abcdzyxw on 10/12/16Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    The music was good and the cast did well with the material. The problem is it is like a musical review: no plot; very little story line. It is virtually continuous songs - very little dialogue. It is set on Maxwell Street in Chicago. What does "On Broadway" or "Spanish Harlem" have to do with Chicago? Nevertheless it was enjoyable just for the music.

    Smokey Joe's was entertaining

    by sweetsue48 on 10/12/16Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    The cast was great. The music brought me back in time. Plus the writer of the songs was in the audience at the 5:00 sat. show on 10/08.

    SMOKIN'

    by Rokittman on 10/11/16Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    Fabulous would be an understatement. The cast was just so captivating we were at a loss for words afterwards. We were treated to a performance that was captivating, rhythmic, exhilarating, mesmerizing, emotional, comedic at times, entertaining and sensual! The cast pretty much covered all of our bases!

    Greatly enjoyed - Very refreshing

    by Koziemotto on 10/5/16Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    My wife and I both loved the show. The variety of music from our past was enjoyable and the renditions of the classic songs was quite refreshing without changing the quality of the songs. Everyone performed in a most energetic and enthusiastic way with the right amount of humor. The diversity, though disappointing I feel the need to mention, was also beautiful to see. Something we need mnore of. I was expecting to hear music and we received so much more. Thank you so much. Paul & Kathy

    Outstanding Performance

    by PSWalker on 10/4/16Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    Hands down this is a must see! The singing, dancing was truly amazing! Don't miss it! We came in from our of town and I'm so glad the distance from Chicago didn't hold us back from seeing it. Only a $30 ride on Lyft to get there. Well worth the money. And the tickets weren't back for such a great performance.

    Smokey Joe's Cafe

    by Songbird627 on 9/28/16Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    First time we've visited Drury Lane. Lovely venue and Joe's is a "hit" with great voices and memorable songs worked into the theme of the show.

    Smokey Joe's Cafe was wonderfully staged musical

    by horde on 9/27/16Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    Loved the music. Second half much stronger performances from some of the less featured singlers/actors. I Who Have Nothing, was so moving! Weakest singer did a rousing Hound Dog. Interesting setting it in Maxwell Street. Good casting, great voices!!! No bad seats in this theater for this show.

    Great singing, excellent songs and staging.

    by MillenniumMike on 9/24/16Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    This is a non-stop song-fest of 39 songs (with one intermission) and the cast of 9 and the band of 5 do a wonderful job of singing, playing and acting. Rock meets R&B meets ballads as the post-WWII era of American music and culture are shifting. Very comfortable theater and seats, a lobby bar that serves good $7 wine, nice lunches and dinners available, and loads of free parking right on site. Definitely worth a matinee or evening performance enjoying this show.

    by Moonglow on 9/17/16Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    It was funny, serious at times and the singing was fabulous! 50s and 60s tunes brought back to life. Costumes were also fabulous! This is the 2nd time I've seen this play and I will see it again!!

    39 songs

    by Manofmanypleasures on 9/7/16Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    Very well performed musical review. Great voices and lots of onstage dancing. No storyline however that might have given a deeper emotional punch
