The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-Time (Chicago) Tickets

Some books move us out of our comfort zone and make us see things in the world that we do not ordinarily perceive. Curious Incident was that kind of book. I couldn't imagine how that book could be converted to a play, but it was - and it was exceptional. We are seeing things from inside of the mind of a 15-year-old autistic boy. The staging, the directing, the acting - especially the actor who played Christopher (Benjamin Wheelwright at our performance) - were all brilliant. Brilliant! The intelligence with which the story and the topic were approached was as fine as I have ever seen in any play throughout my lifetime. I left the theater with so many emotions swirling and was still feeling mesmerized the next day. I would recommend it. I would see it again. One of the best plays I have ever seen. Hint: Stay until the VERY end.

First part of second act Too loud, too long, distracting and annoying

This performance was excellent. I went with my wife and 14-year old son. All agreed.

I saw this play on Broadway last year and loved it. The Chicago production was good but for some reason seemed longer.

Terrific acting and incredible set and electronics

The book this was based on was very touching and I looked forward to seeing the production. First, the staging was excellent. The minimalist (but high tech) set effectively set the stage for the various locations in the story. The story itself was nicely translated to the stage. But the acting - not very strong. More than anything, I thought the English accents by the four leads were amateurish and took a lot away from the experience. Yes I know the story is let in England, but I wonder if it would be more effective if the actors would just use their own voices rather than strain to put on accents that they just couldn't do well.

Maybe it got better, but I'll never know. It was horrible!

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time was both the most bizarre show I've ever seen and the most FANTASTIC show I've ever seen. I'm not sure that I can even find the appropriate words to describe it. It was an explosion of the senses. Riveting, charming, sweet and engaging. The acting was superb, and it was an excellent execution of a wonderful book. This show is one that you shouldn't miss. It's no surprise it won the Best Play Tony of 2015. It was the best $25 I've ever spent. Many thanks to Broadway in Chicago for the $25 on 25 offer. I look forward to January 25th. My only criticism is that I wished the actors were mic'ed a little better. It was a little hard to hear at times.

This is a terrific show on all accounts...a real must see! Fresh, imaginative, beautifully acted, great ensemble work, amazing lighting, on and on. Don't miss it!

Another couple had raved about this play, but intentionally omitted details, so we didn't quite know what to expect. Have to say that at first we weren't sure if we were too old (senior citizens) to appreciate the unusual staging. But fortunately, age was no barrier to be wowed. Very avant-garde in the set design and use of the many actors as "props". A very touching story and so uniquely presented. I would urge everyone to see it!

It was good but some of the loud noise was obnoxious. I got the point about being overwhelmed in a few seconds but the clanging and very harsh sounds were overdone. My teenage son covered his ears. The play was good. The book was better. We all agreed the next day that it was "good"
