    I'm still reeling

    by Farmerwholovesmusicals on 6/18/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    From start to finish, I was captivated by the quality of the orchestra, the clearness of the singing, the energy of the performers, and the sweetness of the characters. Kerstin Anderson was especially wonderful and I loved her enthusiasm and pure joy. Her voice was also simply astounding. Would recommend this show most highly! Can't wait to see it again!

    A fun day at the show!

    by PattyDei on 6/18/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    My mother and I have shared a long-time bond over The Sound of Music. She was thrilled when I told her I got tickets to the Cadillac Palace show. We thoroughly enjoyed it! It was nice that it stayed true to the story but sprinkled in some little updated parts. The only issue that we talked a touch negatively about were the 3 original songs--with such a strong musical following for this story, the original songs felt forced. And it came at the expense of favorites like "Confidence." Edelweiss should have made its "double performance" too--the beauty of that song is the significance to the Captain, both at the beginning AND at the end. But none of that kept us from having a wonderful time at this show!!

    Sound of music

    by FSweetie on 6/17/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Fantastic production!! It took my breath away. The talent in singing was tremendous and so was the acting. The mother superior has a voice that is exceptional beautiful. Thanks for sharing all of your talent with us. Took 2 15 yr. old girls as my guests and they were awe-struck.

    Amazing

    by Pisses on 6/17/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    From beginning to the end, amazing. When Mr Van Trapp sang Edelweiss many of us shed some tears. The props were great as well.

    The Sound of Music

    by Kevinkwong on 6/17/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This is the best show I have ever seen in recent years. The music arrangement and all the players are fantastic. Maria and Reverend Mother Abbess are the most outstanding leading cast among all the others.

    Sound of Music

    by cema on 6/15/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The performers were great, especially the performers in the roles of Maria and the Von Trapp children. I did not like the changes made to the original story, nor the added songs. The changes did not enhance the story and the added songs were not consistent with the team of Rodgers and Hammerstein.

    A Few of My Favorite Things...

    by WickedPeeps on 6/14/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Another outstanding show at the Cadillac Palace! The Sound of Music was fantastic! All of the actors/singers were so perfect in their roles. The voice of the Head Nun was amazing! There is not one aspect of the show that disappointed me. I highly recommend!

    Worth seeing with 1 distracting performance...

    by EVDoesIt on 6/14/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The Sound of Music is a classic and this version is definitely worth checking out. However, while I felt most of the performances were strong, especially the head sister of the abbey, I felt Maria's performance was distracting. Her acting in this role is incredibly over the top to the point where I felt she would have been great as a co-star role in an Ace Ventura, The Mask or some other Jim Carrey movie. I don't recall Judy Dench's, Maria, being so over reactionary. It made it difficult to get into the play since her energy level did not compliment the rest of the cast. However, I do want to point out that her singing ability is truly amazing and despite what I have said, I can understand based simply on that alone why she got this part.

    Absolutely fantastic

    by FMChicago on 6/14/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I took my mom and sister to the show and I'll be honest, I was expecting it to be fun and enjoyable but nothing groundbreaking. Wow, was I wrong! The actress who played Maria (Kersten Anderson) MADE the show - her voice is so beautiful, has this purity to it that was so fitting to Maria. The children were just incredible as was the rest of the cast. Sometimes the set was a little distracting when walls would move as the actors were on stage but the scenic shots of the mountains were gorgeous. I HIGHLY recommend this show! Absolutely worth the money! Also, Maria and the Captain had great chemistry!

    sound of music

    by irishrealtor on 6/13/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    We have had floor seats in the same approximate location( row H, 8 rows back) for many wonderful performances. Last week our seats were limited viewing, not sold as such. This was due to the sets walling off each 1/3 of the stage on both sides. The center section laughed but no one around us heard the lines that brought the laughs. This time it was very difficult to hear. The costumes were great. The voices were on the whole were good. This is probably not the top group touring. Check the sound system or mikes.

    Great new spin

    by jp2oz on 6/11/16Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Great new spin on a classic! Mother superiors solo made the hair on my arms stand up. Awesome! Maria was great too. I liked that Rolf didn't rat them out at the end. Great show! Our seats left a little to be desired- with staging too far left.
