JEFF RECOMMENDED
FOUR STARS “By the time [the] actors, the band and Brant’s words combine to conjure the heartbreaking climax, you could swear there was an elephant in the room.” (Kris Vire, Time Out Chicago)
“The New Switcheroo is performing some of the best music on a Chicago theatre stage right now. The play visually bounces from emotional high to emotional high. Vigorous and engaging storytelling. Bravely encapsulating all of humanity’s prejudices and fears into this one small piece of forgotten history.” (Johnny Oleksinki, Podunk Critic)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED “Ensemble standouts include young Nicole Rudakov, who charms in both monologue and song, Carrie Drapac as the piece’s badly needed voice of compassion and Sean Thomas, the owner who’s dedicated to the bottom line even as his merciless memories haunt him.” (Lisa Buscani, NewCity Chicago)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED “Unforgettable. A roller coaster of emotion. The few feet difference between watching the show and plummeting into the show was an ongoing goosebumps sensation. The feel has all the death-defying marvel of a real-life circus.” (Katy Walsh, Chicago Theatre Beat)
“As usual at Red Tape, the costumes (Izumi Inaba) and set design (Emily Guthrie) were a marvel of detail and atmosphere. The cast performed wonderfully, and the musical numbers were a highlight.” (Lisa Findley, Centerstage)
